2018 ranks as fourth-warmest year for globe
With US government shutdown over, the data finally gets released.
It’s that time of year again… or at least it was. NASA and NOAA normally release the final global temperature data for the previous year around January 18, but the government shutdown delayed that release. It finally happened on Wednesday, with both agencies finding that 2018 ranks at number four on the ever-changing list of the warmest years on record.
What are you talking about, it's just the weather.

Coal production may have reached a point of no return, per projections
EIA's projections show that even without the Clean Power Plan, coal is on the decline.

If the war on coal is over, peace for coal is a curious-looking thing.

French auditor says Ariane 6 rocket too conventional to compete with SpaceX
"This new launcher does not constitute a sustainable response."
France's independent state auditor, the Cour des comptes, has raised concerns about the viability of Europe's new rocket, the Ariane 6 launcher. In its 2019 annual report, the auditor said the France-based launch company Arianespace is also being too cautious as it grapples with competitors like the US-based SpaceX.
"In 2017, Arianespace lost global leadership in the commercial market to the American company SpaceX," the report finds. "This competitor's business model is based on the breakthrough model of reusable rockets."

No, the gas company does that. FD is not qualified to do that. There are not easy shut off valves, often times they need to excavate nearby and clamp the gas line down.
