Reuters’ events division in January convened a webinar entitled “The State of the Energy Transition in 2025” in order to address, among other topics, the pressure that hundreds of billions of dollars in data center investments is placing on the power grid. We asked the power companies themselves about that hot issue in an online-only supplement to Site Selection’s Top Utilities honors in September 2024. They had a lot to say.

The Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce (CEW) last week released an updated data tool for exploring the return on investment of postsecondary education institutions — 4,600 of them. “Institutions that predominantly offer associate’s degrees or certificates often have a higher ROI after 10 years than institutions that predominantly offer bachelor’s degrees,” the organization stated. However, over 40 years, the value of bachelor’s degrees outpace, in almost all cases, those of institutions that predominantly offer associate’s degrees and certificates.”
Georgetown CEW’s research has featured prominently in past editions of Site Selection’s annual workforce guides, including in 2022 and in this year’s newly published report.

This week the Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch in Carlsbad, California, herald the arrival of spring. Fifty-five acres of Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers are in bloom for approximately six to eight weeks each year. In a history befitting the change of the seasons, the flowers, originally cultivated in Oceanside beginning in the 1920s, were moved to land in Carlsbad that was previously home to a poinsettia operation.
