Browns not the only one monitoring Isaiah Bond's situation
It's been reported that former Texas wide receiver Isaiah Bond, who stated he was joining the Cleveland Browns, is currently under investigation. The league is reviewing his sexual assault case, which was no-billed on Thursday evening, according to Mary Kay Cabot of While the team has made no official announcement of this signing, Bond was quick to shout out Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and other representatives of the franchise. In terms of best fit, Cleveland could be the quickest opportunity for this young wide receiver to get another chance. The NFL is reviewing this case because there is a possibility that, even if not faced with legal action, Bond could have violated the Personal Conduct Policy. Despite this, the reason for signing Bond is obvious: the Browns desperately need depth at the wide receiver position, and Bond was projected to be a first- or second-round pick before his legal troubles. The expectation is that the team will announce his signing sooner rather than later, especially if they want to have him on the field for the final preseason game.

Data center owners urge US Treasury to keep renewable energy subsidy rules
(Reuters) -The Data Center Coalition, which represents data center owners including Google, Amazon and Microsoft, called on U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to uphold existing rules for wind and solar energy subsidies, saying they have enabled the industry to grow quickly and stay ahead of competition from China. WHY IT'S IMPORTANT Tougher rules on how projects can qualify for federal clean energy tax credits could slow development of new electricity generation at a time of surging power demand driven by artificial intelligence and the digital economy. KEY QUOTE "Any regulatory friction that slows down deployment of new generation today directly impacts our ability to meet AI-era electricity demands tomorrow," the coalition wrote in its letter to Bessent. The letter is dated August 4 but was seen by Reuters on Friday. CONTEXT President Donald Trump issued an executive order in July directing Treasury to tighten clean energy tax credit rules, including redefining what it means for a project to have started construction. The industry has relied on the existing rules for the last decade, and advisory firm Clean Energy Associates projected this week that the United States could lose about 60 gigawatts of planned solar capacity through 2030 if stricter "beginning of construction" rules are implemented. BY THE NUMBERS Between 2017 and 2023, the U.S. data center industry contributed $3.5 trillion to the nation's gross domestic product and directly employed over 600,000 workers, according to the DCC. WHAT'S NEXT The Treasury Department is expected to issue updated guidelines as soon as August 18.
