Extremists have developed 'credible, specific plans' to attack the US power grid, DHS says in new warning
Utility DIVE
Domestic terrorists have developed "credible, specific plans" to attack the U.S. power grid and view it as a "particularly attractive target given its interdependency with other infrastructure sectors," according to a security briefing issued Monday by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and first reported by The Daily Beast. The alert warned of "physical damage" to electrical infrastructure, raising the specter of the 2013 sniper attack on Pacific Gas & Electric's Metcalf substation that damaged 17 transformers.

More women in a STEM field leads people to label it as a 'soft science,' according to new research
The Conversation via St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Over the past decade, a growing movement has encouraged girls and women to pursue education and careers in science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM. This effort is sometimes described as a way to reduce the wage gap. By encouraging women to enter high-paying fields like science, technology and engineering, advocates hope that women on average will increase their earning power relative to men.

Reducing wind turbine wakes could save wind farms millions
CleanTechnica
In the spring of 2022, researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) will launch an international, multi-institutional wind energy field campaign called the American WAKE experimeNt (AWAKEN). Funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Wind Energy Technologies Office, the study will amass the world's most comprehensive dataset on a wind energy atmospheric phenomenon including wakes that can cost the average wind farm about 10% of its potential energy.

Stakeholders urge action in Congress at $12 billion in infrastructure funding waits on hold
For Construction Pros
The failure of Congress to approve a year-long transportation appropriations bill is putting funds from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) in limbo for states. The Continuing Resolution passed in December 2021 to keep the federal government operating does not allow full access to increased transportation funding in the $1.2 trillion BIL signed into law in November 2021.
