The Washington, D.C., mayor and police chief say they decided to clear a pro-Palestinian encampment at George Washington University based on shifting information about increased threats to public safety.

Bowser says the district’s response to demonstrations is “rooted in public safety and responsibility.”

In 2023, a report by Ember, a think tank based in London, revealed that a record 30% of global electricity was produced from renewables. Solar energy played a major role in adding clean energy to the worldwide electricity grid. Ember anticipated that 2023 was likely the peak year for fossil fuel electricity generation and greenhouse gas emissions from the power sector. Although the demand for electricity is expected to rise this year, there will be an even greater amount of clean energy installations.
