Aspart of its Community Benefits Plan, this project plans to create 121 construction jobs and 12 permanent operations jobs. FMC plans to work to continue strengthening its partnerships with hundreds of high schools, technical and community colleges, and universities to help students of all backgrounds access skills that will help them fully participate in this project and other economic benefit opportunities. The company will also continue to provide 300 annual higher-education scholarships for Native American students from 14 tribes to ensure access to quality jobs. FMC convenes Community Partnership Panels (CPPs) composed of diverse and representative stakeholders who regularly meet to ensure two-way dialogue and input. In recent years, the Greenlee County CPP voiced local concerns and interest in addressing the growing impacts of climate change in the region. In response, if this project is awarded federal funding, FMC plans to increase investments in multiple new climate resilience projects, including increased funding to Local First Arizona to finance projects focused on local climate and economic resiliency.

The selectee, Mineral Basin Solar Power, LLC, a subsidiary of Swift Current Energy, began meeting with stakeholders in 2020, which resulted in the planning for a Community Benefits Agreement that outlines potential benefits for local municipalities. As part of its existing Community Benefits Plan, once operational, it will contribute $500 for every megawatt generated annually to Goshen and Girard townships for community improvements of over $200,000 per year. The project expects to create more than 750 construction jobs and six operations jobs, while providing $1.1 million in annual tax revenue to townships, the county, and local school district. In addition to direct job creation, Mineral Basin Solar Power, LLC plans to invest nearly $20 million in economic development to remove barriers to economic mobility and create opportunities for youths and adults seeking to upskill, right-skill, and reskill across high-demand sectors in the 27-county region.

A Model for Transition: Coal-to-Solar in West Virginia is a 250 MW, utility-scale solar PV project proposed at two former coal mines in Nicholas County that would produce enough clean electricity to power approximately 39,000 West Virginia homes. With no feasible industrial use, these inactive mine sites provide access to existing energy infrastructure that can transmit energy to the grid. Repurposing these previously disturbed sites for solar energy development can reduce development on sensitive natural and agricultural land, produce and deliver clean power to local communities, and lay the groundwork for a regional economic revitalization starting with the workforce. Like much of Appalachia, Nicholas County experienced a significant population decline as coal production slowed. To establish a workforce infrastructure able to serve the state for generations to come, the New River Community and Technical College, Mana Group, and National Association of Counties Research Foundation plan to create a national Coal Transition Workforce Center. This project also aims to engage state labor groups and education programs, curating a curriculum and identifying pathways to good-paying, clean energy jobs.

The CEML program aims to demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility of deploying clean energy projects on both current (operating) and former (abandoned or inactive) mine land across the country. These demonstration projects will provide models for mine land development and community engagement that can be used by the private sector to unlock the potential of mine land for siting clean energy projects.

Funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, CEML received $500 million to demonstrate innovative mine land conversion to clean energy projects with a goal of replication across the country. The law requires up to five clean energy projects be carried out in diverse geographical regions, at least two of which must be solar.

A key benefit of this program is the potential to replicate and scale the projects across the millions of acres of U.S. mine land. This will provide the mining industry with a range of ways to decarbonize their operations and minimize environmental impacts, abating greenhouse gas emissions and disturbances to fragile, surrounding ecosystems. Simultaneously, replicating clean energy technologies like these on other mines would maximize local workforce development and community opportunities for generations.

The selected projects cover a range of clean energy technologies, from solar, microgrids, and pumped storage hydropower to geothermal and battery storage systems. In accordance with the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, two of the projects use solar power technology.

Following a Request for Information in June 2022 to solicit public input, DOE issued a Funding Opportunity Announcement in April 2023. and then conducted merit reviews of eligible project submissions. The merit review criteria included:

On Friday, March 22, 2024, OCED will host a national briefing to provide an update on the CEML program and share highlights on the projects selected for award negotiations. Additionally, OCED will co-host five project specific virtual briefings to allow participants to engage with DOE and selected projects in their local communities. Selectees will provide information about their projects, discuss the project timeline, and share how community members can be involved. OCED will continue to work with stakeholders throughout the design, construction, and operation of the CEML projects. Learn more about CEML local engagement opportunities here.

Then you have your properly formatted String, reflecting the current time at your location, and you're free to do whatever you want with it :) (convert it to a Date / NSNumber, or store it directly as a String in the database..)

There are 37 or so other time zones we'd have to account for and it's up to you to determine which ones, because there is no definitive list. Some standards count fewer time zones, some more. Most time zones break on the hour, some on the half hour, some on 0:45, some on 0:15.

As an aside, I recommend storing dates as strings remotely (including Firestore which has a native date object) because, I think, remote data should agnostic to create as little friction between servers and clients as possible.

That is, a worker receives 60 percent of his or her pay for the hours notworked, while receiving full pay for the hours worked. So, for example, aworker would only experience a 10 percent salary loss for a 30 percentreduction in hours. The program usually runs for a maximum of 6 monthsconsecutively.

Some economists have argued that excessive reliance on Kurzarbeit duringnormal times could potentially reduce labor market flexibility, keepingworkers in jobs that eventually need to disappear, and increasing thedivide between workers in more and less protected segments of the labormarket.

To avoid such outcomes, and limit the fiscal costs of the program,Kurzarbeit entails some co-financing components. In particular, theemployer has to pay 80 percent of the total social security contributionsowed on the reduced working hours. This cost-sharing element ensures thatKurzarbeit is not the first and only resort of employers who need to reduceproduction.

Germany was the only G7 country that did not experience a fall inemployment in 2009. Remarkably, this was the case despite a largecontraction in GDP (of almost six percentage points), owing mainly to acollapse of external demand.

Work-sharing was an important factor explaining this success. We estimatethat about a third of the reduction in working time per employee was due toKurzarbeit, with the rest explained by other margins of flexibility (suchas running down working-time accounts and accumulated leave balances).

Other factors might have also been at play. It could be argued, forexample, that the exceptional stability of employment in Germany duringthe global financial crisis was partly the result of earlier wage moderation, and a highdegree of specialization of manufacturing workers, both of which madelabor hoarding affordable for employers during the global financial crisis.

The strong performance of employment during the global financial crisis bolstered domesticdemand, with stable labor income supporting private consumption, andreducing the need for precautionary savings. This opened the way to a rapidrecovery.

For workers, Kurzarbeit will now provide greater income protection if thereis a prolonged reduction in work hours. The replacement rate, starting at60 percent for the first three months, will increase to 70 percent duringthe 4th to 6th months, and further to 80 percent fromthe 7th month. The maximum duration of the program has beenextended to 21 months. Moreover, the coverage will beexpanded to temporary workers (about two percent of total employment).
