Together they would total 726 megawatts, a backup fleet that would rival the output of some utility-scale power plants, and the permit would allow more than 100 tons of air pollution a year.

A mosquito-borne fever is back in the southeast. Is NC at risk?

Floridians are coming down with a tropical mosquito-borne fever at a record rate since the illness’ return to the state in 2009. Almost 4 billion people live in areas where they are at risk of dengue fever — but Americans are generally considered to be at largest risk of travel-associated cases. In 2026, however, Florida has seen an increase in locally contracted cases of dengue fever. At the time of reporting, the Center for Disease Control had documented 598 of just over 1,000 dengue fever cases in Florida in 2026 to be locally transmitted, rather than acquired while traveling. Dengue fever was once considered endemic , or consistently present, in the continental United States, including Florida. In 2009, Florida faced the first dengue outbreak in the state in over 50 years. Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne illness caused by any of four related viruses. It rarely occurs in the continental United States, but is a leading cause of death globally. As the name suggests, it causes high fevers, as well as severe headaches and pain behind the eyes, rash, body pain and even mild bleeding. There is no vaccine available in the United States.
