Recent environmental news in North America highlights critical issues facing the continent. In Mexico, Sempra, a California utility company, has raised concerns by developing a liquefied natural gas terminal on the shore of the Gulf of California, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The project has sparked worries about the potential ecological impact on this important marine ecosystem, drawing attention to the intersection of energy infrastructure and environmental conservation in the region. Meanwhile, the Colorado River crisis continues as seven US states have missed a federal deadline to devise a water conservation plan. The ongoing disagreement over water distribution and usage underscores the pressing need for sustainable water management practices, particularly in the face of persistent drought conditions and declining reservoir levels.
