The New York City Council has passed a bill requiring professional and college sports venues in the city to allow ticketholders to bring empty, reusable water bottles to games. This move is part of the city's efforts to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and promote sustainability. The decision will enable fans to use refillable containers at stadiums and arenas starting next year. Meanwhile, concerns about the power grid's ability to support renewables have been raised by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and California's reliance on natural gas to avoid blackouts amid limitations of wind and solar power has also been highlighted.
