KNX In Depth: Ring Nation show slammed as exploitative--Can California's electric grid handle increased demand if gas-powered cars disappear?--Doppelgangers have more in common than just looks--Emotional support alligator

Is it a sign of a dystopia or just simply funny and entertaining videos? Depends on who you ask. A new Amazon show called Ring Nation is pulling together all kinds of funny and crazy moments captured on Ring videos. But critics say it goes way too far. We go In Depth into what they're saying. The California Air Resources Board is voting today to move ahead with the plan to ban gas-powered cars by 2035. We look into whether the electric grid can handle what would be a big increased demand for power. We also look into whether other states will follow along. New data is out on life expectancy. COVID was a big factor for a drop in the average lifespan across the country. We tell you where California ended up and which state saw the biggest drop. President Biden takes it upon himself to partially cancel student debt and make DACA permanent. But is it all legal? We may all have doubles out there. New research shows how much in common genetically we may all have with people we don't even know. Would you want a pet alligator? Can they even be pets? The answer is yes and one could win the title of America's Favorite Pet.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
