U.S. top golfers to be paid in crypto in Vegas game
NEW YORK, Dec. 17 (Xinhua) -- At the annual golf exhibition now known as "The Showdown" to take place in Las Vegas, Nevada, Tuesday evening, a whopping 10 million U.S. dollars in prize money will be up for grabs, and, in a bit of a twist, it will be distributed to the participating golfers in the form of cryptocurrency, according a report last month by Front Office Sports.

The long-term trend is that the U.S. median income for a household with rooftop solar is getting closer almost every year to that of the median income for owner-occupied households.
https://insideclimatenews.org/news/12122024/inside-clean-energy-rooftop-solar-keeps-getting-more-accessible/
Screenshot of a graphic created by Inside Climate News, titled "The U.S. Rooftop Solar Market Is Becoming More Equitable." It highlights the median household income of U.S. rooftop solar adopters in 2023 compared to other groups. Top Bar Chart: All U.S. households: $75,000 All U.S. owner-occupied households: $94,000 2023 solar adopters: $115,000 Line Graph: Titled "U.S. Solar-Adopter Household Median Income (2010-2023)," it shows a steady decline in median income for solar adopters over time. The income in 2010 starts at $141,000 and trends downward to $115,000 in 2023. The source of the data is the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and the visualization is credited to Inside Climate News. The chart suggests that the income gap between solar adopters and the general population is narrowing, making solar adoption more accessible.
