LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — More than 10.5 million vaccines have been administered statewide and as more people are vying for a chance to get the coronavirus vaccine, officials are now recruiting volunteers to help vaccine sites run more efficiently. There has been an ongoing issue over people finding loopholes in the state’s current tier system. These vaccine line-jumpers are misusing registration codes and appointments that are targeting under-served areas to get their vaccine without being part of the current tier that’s being served. However, a new possible way to get vaccines early, according to the San Francisco Gate , is completely allowed. A spokesperson with California Volunteers told the publication that anyone who works four hours or more at a vaccine site may be allowed to get the shot, even if they’re not currently eligible under state guidelines.

National Renewable Energy Laboratory optimistic in face of Trump’s budget cuts

Solar cells that can be spray-painted onto windows or printed at a Home Depot; power grids that can take in a wide portfolio of traditional and renewable energy and adapt to changing environments; homes with appliances that communicate with each other to share power between electric cars, water heaters, appliances and even neighbors; hydrogen cars that can travel 300 miles with only a three-minute charge.
