San Jose, Californiamdash; Inside a factory near Memphis, Tennessee, workers are making an unlikely weapon in the fight against climate change: a smart window. Well, like everything in life, right, we look back after you ve experienced the modern thing, and you go, well th stanley cup at was pretty dumb, said Rao Mulpuri, the CEO of California-based View. Mulpuri describes View s windows as transition glass for buildings. They track the sun throughout the day, automatically tinting to regulate light and heat. That allows buildings to use less electricity for heating and cooling. Buildings con stanley cup sume about 40% of all energy, Mulpuri said. They consume about 70% of all electricity. And if you wanna solve for carbon and climate change, you have to solve for bui stanley cup ldings. Operating buildings account for about 27% of annual planet-warming carbon emissions, according to the International Energy Agency. Smart glass can help reduce a building s energy needs by about 20%, according to numbers from the Department of Energy. The Inflation Reduction Act passed by Congress last year includes tax credits to boost that smart technology, which currently costs about 50% more than regular windows. Smart windows have a microscopic coating connected to computer chips and can be controlled by an app. They are now installed in hotels, hospitals, office buildings, apartments, and a dozen U.S. airports, including a new San Francisco International Airport terminal.

New York Times national reporter Caitlin Dickerson, who wrote Wells obituary, told CBSN s Elaine Quijano the paper is acknowledging now that the New York Times was, quite honestly, part of the problem. International Women s nike dunk Day: Demonstrators strike, protest around the world The New York Times is the paper of record -- it always, to a certain extent, reflected the culture of the moment, Dickerson said. When we talk about Ida B. Wells, for example, born in the 1860s, we re talking about a moment when we, as a general culture, didn t pay attention to African Americans -- especially African American women. Charlotte Bronteuml;, Henrietta Lacks, Ada Lovelace and Ida B. Wells are some of the prominent women belatedly getting obituaries in The New York Times.
