While Congress generously has provided the fossil-fuel and nuclear-energy industries a number of permanent subsidies, it typically has granted the wind industry the PTC on a short-term basis — and then wavered over renewing it. Last year, the PTC expired on December 31, but as part of the "fiscal cliff" budget deal the next day, Congress extended it for the seventh time since it debuted in 1992 — for only one year.

What just happened? Good news for everyone who still prefers Windows 7 over newer versions of the operating system. Google has extended Chrome support for the venerable OS by another six months, giving businesses whose plans to migrate to Windows 10 were put on hold because of the pandemic more breathing space. Despite Windows 7 reaching its end of extended support period for non-paying users in January, it's still found on around a fifth of all Windows machines. Part of the reason for the slow decline is the pandemic; with businesses' IT departments having to deal with the shift to remote work, new security protocols, and other related projects, moving onto Windows 10 became less of a priority. … [Read more...] about Google extends Chrome support for Windows 7 by six months
