In the 2000s, coal accounted for more than half of electricity generation. But while King Coal was not dethroned overnight, its demise has been years in the making. According to the EIA’s latest Short-Term Energy Outlook, coal-fired power plants only accounted for 20 percent of total U.S. electricity generation in April... Читать дальше...

The original French title of Olivier Assayas’ self-conscious lit-world comedy Non-Fiction translates as Double Lives; it could be read as a reference to the characters’ mutual infidelities or the pretensions of personal fiction, both hinting at some kind of cultural midlife crisis.

Watch the hilarious moment twin toddlers reveal two very different views on hair clips. The filmer offers the first tot, Jessica, a hairclip and it is received with joy and happiness. She seems excited to have her already glowing happiness augmented by the hair accessory. The filmer then turns to the other twin toddler, Juliet, to offer her the hair clip.
