AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

EPA PFAS Rollback: The EPA has proposed undoing parts of Biden-era drinking-water limits for “forever chemicals,” ending caps on four PFAS while giving utilities extra time on two others—while promising separate limits for PFAS discharges from industry. NC Ballot Math: North Carolina Republicans are pushing four constitutional amendments for November, including a “right to farm” and an income-tax cap at 3.5%, with most changes largely codifying existing policy. Power Crunch Meets AI: NextEra Energy and Dominion Energy announced a roughly $66.8B all-stock merger to create the world’s largest regulated utility, spanning Florida, Virginia, and the Carolinas—aimed at meeting surging electricity demand tied to AI and data centers. School Safety Tech: Davidson County Schools is among the first to get a $2M AI pilot for school safety, as North Carolina continues expanding school resource officer funding. Health & Research: Caltech named eight 2026 Brown Investigators, including UNC-Chapel Hill’s Jillian Dempsey, and a gene-editing study won top clinical research honors. Local Tech in the Sky: Papa Johns is testing drone delivery of sandwiches in Indian Trail with Wing.
