Travel with Rob Fower: Day 6

2 weeks ago | counton2.com | Rob Fowler

Day 6 of our WCBD News2 Viewer Trip started in Athens but ended in Mykonos! After spending our first few days sightseeing on land, it was time to board the Celestyal Discovery for the next four days and four nights. I know our group is happy to call Discovery home!It's been a rather chilly, blustery day on the Aegean Sea as we set our sights on Mykonos. Despite the chill, we had a chance to disembark and enjoy the open-air tavernas, whitewashed buildings, and cobblestone streets.

We left Kalambaka this morning for a several hour trip to Meteora, marveling at the Greek Countryside along the way. The mountain ranges were a beautiful backdrop, and as is normally the case, the photos don't do the real thing justice. You must see it for yourself. Our stops today took us to several convents and monasteries perched on top of mountains. These are places of solitude and prayer and a place where priceless historical and religious treasures are kept.

It's been a day packed with sightseeing and lessons in Greek history. Led by our Greek guide, Nanda, we walked to the Acropolis from our hotel. Yes we are getting our steps in, and unlike the "Lowcountry", there is elevation and inclines. The Parthenon is a former temple on the Athenian Acropolis, Greece, that was dedicated to the goddess Athena.
On The Way Out Of Office, Biden Administration Adopts New Waste Emission Charges Rule For Methane

Nov 18, 2024 | mondaq.com | Rob Fowler

On November 12, 2024, the Biden administration announced a final rule to reduce methane emissions from high-emitting oil and gas producers. Enabled by the Inflation Reduction Act (the "Act"), EPA will now collect Waste Emission Charges from entities "wasting" methane by flaring or venting it into the atmosphere rather than capturing it. Congress included this requirement in the Act to prevent waste and encourage the oil and gas industry to conserve valuable energy resources.

Oct 9, 2024 | mondaq.com | Rob Fowler

On October 4, 2024, without opinion and no recorded dissents, the United States Supreme Court handed the Biden Administration two wins on notable climate change regulations, denying emergency stay applications against Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations. First, in Oklahoma, et al. v. EPA, et al., the Court turned down a request by Oklahoma and industry groups to stay the implementation of EPA's regulations aimed at curbing oil and gas facility emissions of methane.
These are the top weather events that shaped the Lowcountry since 1954

Sep 25, 2024 | counton2.com | Rob Fowler

MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (WCBD) – We have come a long way in weather forecasting and technology since 1954. When we signed on the air, we had no weather satellite in space. What this means is that two significant hurricanes in our history, Hazel in 1954 and Gracie in 1959, were forecast without the help from above that we rely on so much today. Hazel was certainly worse for North Carolina. But for us, it was the first hurricane we had to deal with after hitting the airwaves.
‘Whole new ball game’ - SCOTUS delivers another hit to federal agencies in Corner Post decision

Aug 15, 2024 | federalnewsnetwork.com | Rob Fowler

Federal agencies may need to call the bullpen for a relief pitcher after several recent hits delivered by the Supreme Court of the United States. The default limitations period for Administrative Procedure Act (APA) challenges runs from when a plaintiff is injured by final agency action, not the moment the regulation is issued — SCOTUS decided on July 1, 2024, in Corner Post v. Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
