Ginger's Revenge is back at it with a second taproom on the way ... (Asheville Citizen-Times)

A new craft ginger beer taproom will open in Asheville's South Slope district in the summer of 2022.

But it's really helpful to have this space right next to our existing space instead of having a warehouse 20 miles away." "We felt like it was a good strategic move and we're slowly expanding in this space," Cristina Hall Ackley said. "That's always been important to us, to provide those options here because we have a lot of friends and people who don't drink." “A second location gives us the opportunity to expand our brand offerings and experiment with new product ideas,” David Ackley said in a news release. Ginger's Revenge brand is an illustrated rock band with band leader and drummer Ginger representing the original ginger beer. Cristina Hall Ackley, co-founder and president, said she and her husband and CEO, David, have had the idea of an expansion in mind for a while.

Is a major Alaska oil project a 'carbon bomb' or a nothingburger? (The Washington Post)

ConocoPhillips's proposal for Willow includes hundreds of miles of roads and pipelines, airstrips, a gravel mine and a major new processing facility — all ...

It would also require the Interior Department to seek public comment on potential offshore wind lease sales there. Meanwhile, if the planet remains on its current track of warming by 2 degrees Celsius, the number of unsafe work days is expected to nearly double. The new standards could require companies to give workers water, shade and rest breaks, or set statewide maximum heat temperatures for workplaces. In reality, the company argues, the Willow project would have a modest environmental footprint in comparison to the nation's coal plants. According to a new analysis released Tuesday by the Center for American Progress, a preeminent liberal think tank, ConocoPhillips's Willow project would produce up to 287 million metric tons of carbon dioxide over the next 30 years. - ConocoPhillips argues that in this scenario, greenhouse gases would continue to be emitted because the market would substitute other energy supplies to meet demand. Instead, the center says, Interior has a duty to consider what might happen if the project moves forward. While the disagreement is complicated, it largely centers on a hypothetical situation in which the Willow project were not developed. The debate has enormous implications for President Biden's ambitious climate agenda, which calls for cutting U.S. emissions by at least 50 percent by 2030. - CAP argues that it's irrelevant to speculate about what might happen if Willow were not developed. The proposal specifically includes 30 miles of road, an airstrip approximately one mile long, and 90 miles of pipeline corridor. Jenny Rowland-Shea, CAP's director of public lands and the author of the new analysis, countered that Willow would be a “carbon bomb” at a time when “scientists and others are saying the U.S. urgently needs to move off fossil fuels” to meet global climate targets.
