Manchester United is optimistic about securing a long-term deal with Kobbie Mainoo amid speculation about his future. United's need to adhere to profit and sustainability rules, where fees for home-grown players count as pure profit on the balance sheet, has raised the possibility of Mainoo leaving. Boss Ruben Amorim wants Mainoo to stay, and only an offer around $86million (£70million) would convince United to sell its academy graduate, who has been with the club since he was six years old.

Electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS) are essential for promoting cleaner transportation by facilitating electric vehicle recharging. This study explores their broader economic impact on nearby businesses, analyzing data from over 4000 EVCS and 140,000 business establishments in California. Results show that installing one EVCS boosts annual spending at a nearby establishment by 1.4% ($1,478) in 2019 and 0.8% ($404) from January 2021 to June 2023. The effect is more pronounced when a point of interest (POI) is within 100 meters of an EVCS, with spending increasing by 2.7% in 2019 and 3.2% from January 2021 to June 2023 for that POI. Public EVCS tend to attract higher-income, exploratory visitors, and local residents. Moreover, they notably enhance businesses in underprivileged areas, defined as disadvantaged and/or low-income areas designated by both California and Justice40, indicating the importance of expanding EVCS in such communities. This study highlights EVCS as drivers of local economic growth and stresses the economic benefits of multi-host EVCS setups. This study quantifies the economic impacts of electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS) on nearby businesses in California, finding that installing one EVCS boosts annual spending at a nearby business by 1.4% ($1,478) in 2019 and 0.8% ($404) from January 2021 to June 2023.

A cloud-modifying method proposed for blocking some sunlight in order to cool western coastal areas of the United States could work, at least initially, but also could cause severe adverse effects in the region and across other nations, according to a Guardian report on a new modeling study. The cautionary findings reinforce David W. Keith’s call in Issues for strengthening research on both solar geoengineering and possible policy and governance options.
