{"title":"Desert Sun: Morocco's Noor and the Limits of Big Solar","content":"On a high plateau beneath the Atlas Mountains, near the Sahara’s edge, the Moroccan city of Ouarzazate is home to Noor — one of the world’s largest solar power complexes. Spread across nearly 500 hectares, Noor produces enough electricity to supply more than a million homes, but it does so with concentrated solar power rather than conventional rooftop panels. Two million mirrors focus sunlight onto a central receiver atop a 247-meter tower; the concentrated rays heat molten salt to about 600 °C (1,112 °F). That heat generates steam to run turbines and, critically, can be stored to keep producing electricity hours after sunset.

{“title”:”Dubai Influencers, Censorship and PR Amid Iran Strikes”,”content”:”A coordinated social media trend circulating among Dubai-based influencers has drawn attention and questions about the limits of permitted speech. Short videos show expats enjoying city views with the caption, “You live in Dubai, aren’t you scared?” followed by, “No, because I know who protects us,” over images of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Crown Prince Hamdan bin Mohammed. The clips use an AI-generated cover of Stromae’s “Papaoutai,” and their consistent format prompted users to ask whether creators were paid or briefed to post the material. Some influencers denied being paid; others said they were consciously promoting the city’s image.
