Now, today, Egypt, link here.
From the linked article:
A $10-billion wind power project in Egypt, one of the world’s biggest, is set to see its construction start by March 2026, delayed from this year due to the process of land acquisition, the chairman of one of the companies involved in the project told Bloomberg.
The wind farm with a planned capacity of 10 gigawatts (GW) is being developed by Infinity Power, the largest African renewable energy developer, Hassan Allam Utilities, and the UAE's flagship renewable energy company, Masdar.
The construction was delayed from the initial timeline which envisaged breaking ground in 2024, due to the process of acquiring the land for the wind power development in the Upper Egyptian region of West Sohag, Mohamed Mansour, chairman of Infinity Power.
This is how they're trying to sell this project:
The huge wind project is expected to produce 47,790 GWh of clean energy per year and cut around 9% of Egypt’s annual carbon emissions by displacing 23.8 million tons of carbon dioxide annually.
The wind farm will also help Egypt meet its strategic objective of sourcing 42% of its energy from renewables by 2030. The 10-GW wind farm will save the country an estimated US$5 billion in natural gas costs per year.

The Book Page
Actually two books.
Combee: Harriet Tubman, the Combahee River Raid and Black Freedom During the Civil War, Edda L. Fields-Black, 2024. Link here.
Night Flyer: Harriet Tubman and the Faith Dreams of a Free People, Tiya Miles, 2024.
It looks like that, of the two, I would prefer Tiya Mill's book.
