Water Safety After Drownings: Vermont State Police report multiple drowning incidents over the past days, including a missing man search on the Lamoille River near Arrowhead Mountain Lake in Georgia and another recovered body in Fairfax; officials urge life vests and extra caution as storms raise water levels and strengthen currents. Energy + Water Pressure From AI: Rural Vermonters and other Americans are increasingly worried that AI data centers will strain electricity and water supplies and raise local costs, fueling calls for stronger oversight. EPA Coal Ash Proposal: The EPA’s proposed changes to coal ash rules are drawing sharp pushback from public interest groups, who warn the plan could weaken protections for toxic waste and water sources.
