Hong Kong ‘swallows’ 2.45 billion liters of sewage per day in tunnels 163 meters deep, with giant pumps, compact tanks, and ships that transport 1,200 tons of sludge to be converted into energy.

How the “solar cat” became a billion-dollar threat to the Brazilian electrical system and put ANEEL on high alert after the explosion of photovoltaic energy, clandestine frauds, and the growing risk of network collapse

While the Senate stalls the end of the 6×1 schedule, a supermarket takes the lead and delights its employees by adopting a 5×2 schedule with two days off, testing reduced wear and tear, and maintaining salaries even as the workweek is set to decrease from 44 to 40 hours.
