Questions about the benefits of solar and wind energy continue to be asked and answered.So, where do Americans stand when it comes to clean sources of energy?

Pac-12 rewind: Great escapes, breakout performances, October regressions and title race clarity dominate Week 7

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 21:00:25 GMT

Recapping the Week 7 action across the Pac-12 …Theme of the week I: Conference clarityThe first weekend of the second half of an epic Pac-12 season did not disappoint as Stanford and Washington won thrillers, USC got exposed, Arizona showed its worth, UCLA and Washington State dropped off the top tier and Oregon State and Utah quietly rolled on. As we cross-match the current standings with the second-half schedule, one thing is abundantly clear: Each of the contenders has at least one difficult road game ahead. In our view, Oregon and UW are best equipped to navigate hostile ground.Theme of the week II: Plot twistsIn a 20-hour period, Stanford and Washington won games in which their win probability, per ESPN’s analytics, was less than 5% in the final minutes and/or overtime. (Two jaw-droppers, although the details were different.) Also, Arizona won by 38 points on the road as an eight-point underdog, and USC lost by 28 to an opponent, Notre Dame, that was coming off a lo...

49ers-Browns pregame: Fight erupts; Dre Greenlaw out, Elijah Mitchell returns

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 21:00:25 GMT

CLEVELAND — A brief but feisty brawl erupted along the 49ers sideline as players came out for warmups, about 40 minutes before kickoff against the host Browns.About 15 players from both teams gathered near midfield, and Trent Williams was the first to rush in to shove Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore away from 49ers’ Deebo Samuel. Moore’s helmet came off upon Williams’ side impact.No punches were visible, and officials did not appear to eject any players for their actions. It appeared that Aiyuk and Samuel initially riled up the Browns, then pushing and shoving ensued. Aiyuk had to be pulled back by Fred Warner and Colton McKivitz.The 49ers huddled up as a team shortly thereafter, and it wasn’t just Fred Warner in the middle as usual but an animated Aiyuk hyping up his teammates.49ers headed into locker room after warmups with some Browns defenders standing guard with officials as shields pic.twitter.com/ZpPS2IvfIT— Cam Inman (@CamInman) October ...

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 21:00:25 GMT

COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — Kellen Moore has been under the spotlight since he was hired as the Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator in late January.Considering this week’s opponent, the glare has been brighter than usual.The Chargers host the Dallas Cowboys — otherwise known as the team where Moore spent eight years before coming to Southern California — on Monday night. Moore joined the Cowboys for the final three seasons of his playing career (2015-17) before moving to the coaching staff. He was the quarterbacks coach in 2018 and offensive coordinator from 2019 through last season.Los Angeles’ hiring of Moore was announced less than 24 hours after Dallas coach Mike McCarthy said Moore would not return. At the time, McCarthy, who has taken over as the offensive play-caller, said the move was “a mutual decision to part ways.”Moore said it will be fun to see familiar faces again, but his familiarity with the Cowboys or how much information he could share this week is overr...
