Utility companies want to pay you to generate power for the electrical grid
I'm not sure what is happening in other states. However, unless you put in your solar a few years ago here in California you no longer get full price for your solar electricity you sell back. We for example, only get 10 cents on the dollar now when we turned on our solar during the last few years. So, if you put solar in read the fine print. However, most of the time our meter is going backwards so we aren't paying anything most of the time anyway. So, your bill (whether they pay you for electricity or not is going down by about 85% in Santa Barbara at least where there is a lot of sun. There needs to be enough sun during the year to make putting solar into your home or business worthwhile otherwise it isn't worth the investment long term.

Netanyahu vows to expand Israel’s grip on Lebanon after deepest incursion in 26 years
It's possible now that Netanyahu will do to much of Lebanon what they have already done to Gaza and like Gaza never leave or rebuild there until all locals are gone or dead. It is also possible that Israel will simply start Israeli colonization of the destroyed areas of Lebanon as well.

BEIJING -- A collapse occurred in an illegal mining operation in China on Sunday, killing five people and injuring one other person, Chinese official news agency Xinhua reported.
The incident took place in Huize County in Yunnan province in southwest China at about 4:30 a.m., Xinhua reported. The news outlet did not specify what kind of mine it was.
Rescuers pulled out all six people trapped at the site in Baiwu village and sent them to the hospital, but five of them succumbed to their injuries. The survivor was in stable condition, the report said.
Authorities were investigating the cause of the collapse.
Just more than a week ago, the country was hit by its deadliest coal mine explosion in recent years, which killed at least 82 people in China’s northern Shanxi province. Local officials earlier said there were “serious violations” of the law by that mine’s operator.
