AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoAstronomy for NH families: Aug. 12 is shaping up to be a once-in-a-month sky day, with a planetary parade before sunrise, a partial solar eclipse mid-day (glasses needed), the Perseids peaking overnight (NASA says 50–100 meteors), and a new moon for extra-dark viewing. Energy policy: A new look at New Hampshire’s relationship with ISO-NE argues the state is unlikely to go it alone—leaving the regional grid could raise costs, so the focus shifts to changing rules and transmission spending. Public health & obesity care: California’s Medicaid retreat from GLP-1 coverage is framed as a costly step backward, warning that cutting access can drive weight regain and bring back related chronic conditions. Water science: UNH ecotoxicology reporting explains why “toxic algae blooms” are really cyanobacteria blooms driven by phosphorus runoff. Wildlife conservation: Keene is moving toward amphibian road-crossing underpasses, building on Vermont’s reported 80% drop in deaths at a prior crossing site. NH education outreach: Great Bay Discovery Center schedules free fall educator training for Sept. 2 at the Hugh Gregg Coastal Conservation Center.
