Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy, here are a few things to know about the holiday honoring the slain activist and his fight against inequality and racial injustice.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>From subversive to hero\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>This year marks 56 years since the activist was assassinated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, King is widely lauded as a hero who led a nonviolent crusade against racist segregation policies and horrendous brutality against Black people. But at the time, his views were considered quite radical by much of white America, including the government. (He was the subject of several \u003ca href=\"https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/federal-bureau-investigation-fbi\">FBI surveillance operations\u003c/a> designed to collect subversive material on King.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Pew Research Center found that by 1966 — two years after he’d received the Nobel Peace Prize — \u003ca href=\"https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/08/10/how-public-attitudes-toward-martin-luther-king-jr-have-changed-since-the-1960s/\">63% of Americans\u003c/a> had an unfavorable opinion of King, “including 44% who viewed him highly unfavorably.” Today, 81% of American adults say he had a positive impact on the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jonathan Eig, author of \u003cem>King: A Life\u003c/em>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/05/16/1176371630/jonathan-eigs-new-biography-examines-the-life-of-martin-luther-king-jr\">told \u003c/a>NPR in 2023 that King, a pastor who followed in his father’s footsteps, was a protest leader who did not like conflict.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even as he sat at the helm of anti-segregation protests, including the Montgomery bus boycott and the march from Selma, Alabama, to the state Capitol, Eig said King “is always going out of his way to avoid conflict with people who are his elders. … And he really doesn’t like conflict.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eig added: “He has to push himself really out of his comfort zone to argue, to debate, to really challenge some of the leaders of this country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad full-width]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The road to a federal holiday\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The fight to declare MLK Day a federally recognized holiday was a long slog for its champions, who began the campaign almost immediately after King’s assassination on the balcony of a hotel in Memphis, Tennessee on April 4, 1968. [aside label='More Stories on Civil Rights' tag='civil-rights']It was President Ronald Reagan who eventually signed a bill in 1983 that added Martin Luther King Jr. Day to the list of federal holidays, commemorating King’s contribution to the civil rights movement.

And I assume I was breathing them in. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is an answer to this question. But it’s a bit complicated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, let’s review how SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, spreads. While some viruses are primarily passed through contact with the bodily fluids (Ebola) or skin (mpox) of someone who’s infected, SARS-CoV-2 is easier to catch. It’s spread \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/about-covid-19.html\">mainly\u003c/a> through the air in invisible aerosols (and to a lesser extent in large droplets) that the infected person emits while breathing, talking, sneezing, coughing, laughing or snoring. The aerosols can hang around in the air for hours, and others can inhale them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So yes, if someone in your house is exhaling SARS-CoV-2-viral particles, you could breathe them in and become infected. But … here’s why that does not always happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are two points to ponder. One: The person with COVID is not contagious at all times. Two: Different factors can reduce the risk of getting infected by a housemate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The incubation period\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>For starters, someone who is sick with COVID-19 is not infectious from the moment they catch the virus to the moment they test negative (or their symptoms go away). Viruses like SARS-CoV-2 have different stages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It all starts when you’re first exposed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you breathe in enough viral particles and your immune system doesn’t vanquish the pathogens you’ve inhaled, the timer starts for your case of COVID. The virus will incubate in your body until symptoms begin to appear. [aside postID=news_11972313 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/240111-AT-HOME-COVID-TEST-GETTY-MB-KQED-1038x576.jpg']And when do you become contagious – marking the transition from the “latent” stage to the “infectious” stage? There’s no way to know the exact moment this happens. It’s a complex biological process, and for everyone, it will be a little different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But we can make certain inferences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, many people wonder: Can you be contagious before symptoms of COVID appear?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early on in the pandemic, the answer was definitely yes – and that’s one reason why it was so hard to control COVID. We knew this from \u003ca href=\"https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa2008457\">studies\u003c/a> that showed transmission happening before the sick person had any symptoms. You would not necessarily know when you were exposed to someone contagious because they may have been “pre-symptomatic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But things have changed since 2020. Now, most of our immune systems can recognize the virus — as a result of previous exposures and/or being vaccinated. The immune system’s reaction to even a small amount of virus could be symptoms like coughing, sore throat, running nose or a fever. With our immune systems primed, the body’s response comes much more quickly than it would have back in 2020 when SARS-CoV-2 was a novel pathogen. So those symptoms could appear early on after exposure — even before we’re infectious. This was shown \u003ca href=\"https://academic.oup.com/cid/advance-article/doi/10.1093/cid/ciad582/7285011\">in a study\u003c/a> published in \u003cem>Clinical Infectious Disease\u003c/em> that examined people’s symptoms compared to how much virus they were carrying across the days of their infection.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The infectious window\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The infectious window — the period during which you’re contagious — varies from person to person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For some, it may only be a couple of days, whereas, for others, it can be a week or even longer (especially in people who are immunocompromised and can’t easily clear the virus).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re lucky, your housemate will have a short window.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there’s the matter of quantity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many, if not most, people will transmit only small amounts of SARS-CoV-2 after getting infected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the spread of SARS-CoV-2 happens from a relatively small number of highly infectious people — called superspreaders. Research on transmission has shown a \u003ca href=\"https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12889-023-15915-1\">wide variation\u003c/a> in how many people get infected by one person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some superspreaders are just biologically capable of shedding a lot of viruses. One study published in November 2023 \u003ca href=\"https://academic.oup.com/cid/advance-article/doi/10.1093/cid/ciad701/7424866?login=true#432788078\">found an association\u003c/a> between higher BMI in men and higher viral loads. Other superspreaders could have a big network of people they come into contact with — for example, infecting \u003ca href=\"https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2770172\">on a bus\u003c/a> or in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6919e6.htm\">choir\u003c/a> setting.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>You can reduce the amount of pathogens you’re exposed to\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Just breathing in a pathogen doesn’t mean you’ll get sick. This is the difference between exposure versus actual infection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a pathogen to cause disease, you must be exposed to enough of it — the minimum infectious dose — so it can overcome your immune defenses. Some pathogens can do their work with a tiny infectious dose, meaning even just a few microbes or viral particles are sufficient to infect you, while others require a much heftier exposure. [aside label='More Stories on Public Health' tag='public-health']That’s why you’re unlikely to catch COVID from, say, dashing into a grocery store for a quick shop and perhaps breathing in a very small amount of virus. The \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/ChristoPhraser/status/1737513787563868270?s=20\">duration of exposure\u003c/a> and the concentration of the pathogen in its preferred route (air, for this virus) affect your chance of getting sick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We are exposed to small amounts of pathogens all the time, but usually, it is not enough to cause disease. Sometimes, however, it is. A more sinister example of these principles is Coxiella burnetii, the bacteria that causes “Q Fever.” It can spread to people from animals, including farm animals, and is on the list of “\u003ca href=\"https://www.selectagents.gov/sat/list.htm\">select agents\u003c/a>” for bioterrorism concerns. The bacteria has a very low infectious dose, is stable in the environment and can spread so effectively that even living miles downwind of a farm is a risk factor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reducing the dose you are exposed to is one way to avoid infection. For SARS-CoV-2, opening windows can dilute the cloud of aerosols by bringing in fresh air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your home has a fan with an air filter or you’re using a HEPA air purifier, the infectious aerosol particles \u003ca href=\"https://blogs.cdc.gov/niosh-science-blog/2023/02/03/diy-filtration/\">can become trapped in the filter\u003c/a> rather than in your lungs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To reiterate, the cumulative dose you inhale depends on the time you spend in a place and the concentration of viral particles there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Masks that are worn correctly and consistently will also reduce that dose. If your housemate is infected and you wear an effective mask (a well-fitting N95, for example), the mask will trap most of the viral particles, reducing the amount you inhale. If the person with COVID masks up, that will decrease the quantity of pathogens they’re emitting into the air as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Your immune system (or medications) could save you\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If you’ve been vaccinated or had a prior infection, your immune system could be able to knock out the pathogen. The older you get, the less effective your immune system will be. And if you have a medical condition that makes your immune system weaker — like cancer or chronic diseases like diabetes — that could also play a role in whether exposure to viral particles will lead to infection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For healthy people exposed to a sick person, antiviral drugs (or antibiotics for bacteria) can often avert infection after exposure — this is called post-exposure prophylaxis and is used for many infections already, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.hiv.gov/hiv-basics/hiv-prevention/using-hiv-medication-to-reduce-risk/post-exposure-prophylaxis/\">HIV\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2211934\">gonorrhea, chlamydia and syphilis\u003c/a>. [aside postID=news_11966797 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/GettyImages-1387450682-672x372.jpg']In one study, researchers looked at whether those living at home with someone infected with COVID-19 were less likely to get sick if they used the antiviral Paxlovid. The study found a signal — \u003ca href=\"https://www.pfizer.com/news/press-release/press-release-detail/pfizer-shares-top-line-results-phase-23-epic-pep-study\">a 32% reduced risk\u003c/a> of getting sick compared to placebo — but did not meet statistical significance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, in conclusion, yes, you can live with someone with COVID and not catch it. Because infectious disease transmission is complicated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And remember, we do see weird things happening with infectious diseases every single day. So yes, in theory, you could catch, say, mpox from dust particles on a patient’s blanket. This happened in a \u003ca href=\"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32023204/\">famous case\u003c/a> from the U.K., but it is exceedingly rare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But don’t fall for the trap of thinking that your single example represents the general trend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to COVID, let me assure you: It is contagious — but remember, that doesn’t mean everyone who is in contact with someone infected will catch it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was infected a few weeks ago. My mother and sister were both in the car with me hours before I felt sick and tested positive. My sister got COVID days later.

And I assume I was breathing them in. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is an answer to this question. But it’s a bit complicated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, let’s review how SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, spreads. While some viruses are primarily passed through contact with the bodily fluids (Ebola) or skin (mpox) of someone who’s infected, SARS-CoV-2 is easier to catch. It’s spread \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/about-covid-19.html\">mainly\u003c/a> through the air in invisible aerosols (and to a lesser extent in large droplets) that the infected person emits while breathing, talking, sneezing, coughing, laughing or snoring. The aerosols can hang around in the air for hours, and others can inhale them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So yes, if someone in your house is exhaling SARS-CoV-2-viral particles, you could breathe them in and become infected. But … here’s why that does not always happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are two points to ponder. One: The person with COVID is not contagious at all times. Two: Different factors can reduce the risk of getting infected by a housemate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There’s no way to know the exact moment this happens. It’s a complex biological process, and for everyone, it will be a little different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But we can make certain inferences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, many people wonder: Can you be contagious before symptoms of COVID appear?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early on in the pandemic, the answer was definitely yes – and that’s one reason why it was so hard to control COVID. We knew this from \u003ca href=\"https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa2008457\">studies\u003c/a> that showed transmission happening before the sick person had any symptoms. You would not necessarily know when you were exposed to someone contagious because they may have been “pre-symptomatic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But things have changed since 2020. Now, most of our immune systems can recognize the virus — as a result of previous exposures and/or being vaccinated. The immune system’s reaction to even a small amount of virus could be symptoms like coughing, sore throat, running nose or a fever. With our immune systems primed, the body’s response comes much more quickly than it would have back in 2020 when SARS-CoV-2 was a novel pathogen. So those symptoms could appear early on after exposure — even before we’re infectious. This was shown \u003ca href=\"https://academic.oup.com/cid/advance-article/doi/10.1093/cid/ciad582/7285011\">in a study\u003c/a> published in \u003cem>Clinical Infectious Disease\u003c/em> that examined people’s symptoms compared to how much virus they were carrying across the days of their infection.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The infectious window\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The infectious window — the period during which you’re contagious — varies from person to person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For some, it may only be a couple of days, whereas, for others, it can be a week or even longer (especially in people who are immunocompromised and can’t easily clear the virus).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re lucky, your housemate will have a short window.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there’s the matter of quantity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many, if not most, people will transmit only small amounts of SARS-CoV-2 after getting infected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the spread of SARS-CoV-2 happens from a relatively small number of highly infectious people — called superspreaders. Research on transmission has shown a \u003ca href=\"https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12889-023-15915-1\">wide variation\u003c/a> in how many people get infected by one person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some superspreaders are just biologically capable of shedding a lot of viruses. One study published in November 2023 \u003ca href=\"https://academic.oup.com/cid/advance-article/doi/10.1093/cid/ciad701/7424866?login=true#432788078\">found an association\u003c/a> between higher BMI in men and higher viral loads. Other superspreaders could have a big network of people they come into contact with — for example, infecting \u003ca href=\"https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2770172\">on a bus\u003c/a> or in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6919e6.htm\">choir\u003c/a> setting.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>You can reduce the amount of pathogens you’re exposed to\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Just breathing in a pathogen doesn’t mean you’ll get sick. This is the difference between exposure versus actual infection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a pathogen to cause disease, you must be exposed to enough of it — the minimum infectious dose — so it can overcome your immune defenses. Some pathogens can do their work with a tiny infectious dose, meaning even just a few microbes or viral particles are sufficient to infect you, while others require a much heftier exposure. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/ChristoPhraser/status/1737513787563868270?s=20\">duration of exposure\u003c/a> and the concentration of the pathogen in its preferred route (air, for this virus) affect your chance of getting sick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We are exposed to small amounts of pathogens all the time, but usually, it is not enough to cause disease. Sometimes, however, it is. A more sinister example of these principles is Coxiella burnetii, the bacteria that causes “Q Fever.” It can spread to people from animals, including farm animals, and is on the list of “\u003ca href=\"https://www.selectagents.gov/sat/list.htm\">select agents\u003c/a>” for bioterrorism concerns. The bacteria has a very low infectious dose, is stable in the environment and can spread so effectively that even living miles downwind of a farm is a risk factor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reducing the dose you are exposed to is one way to avoid infection. For SARS-CoV-2, opening windows can dilute the cloud of aerosols by bringing in fresh air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your home has a fan with an air filter or you’re using a HEPA air purifier, the infectious aerosol particles \u003ca href=\"https://blogs.cdc.gov/niosh-science-blog/2023/02/03/diy-filtration/\">can become trapped in the filter\u003c/a> rather than in your lungs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To reiterate, the cumulative dose you inhale depends on the time you spend in a place and the concentration of viral particles there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Masks that are worn correctly and consistently will also reduce that dose. If your housemate is infected and you wear an effective mask (a well-fitting N95, for example), the mask will trap most of the viral particles, reducing the amount you inhale. If the person with COVID masks up, that will decrease the quantity of pathogens they’re emitting into the air as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Your immune system (or medications) could save you\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If you’ve been vaccinated or had a prior infection, your immune system could be able to knock out the pathogen. The older you get, the less effective your immune system will be. And if you have a medical condition that makes your immune system weaker — like cancer or chronic diseases like diabetes — that could also play a role in whether exposure to viral particles will lead to infection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For healthy people exposed to a sick person, antiviral drugs (or antibiotics for bacteria) can often avert infection after exposure — this is called post-exposure prophylaxis and is used for many infections already, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.hiv.gov/hiv-basics/hiv-prevention/using-hiv-medication-to-reduce-risk/post-exposure-prophylaxis/\">HIV\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2211934\">gonorrhea, chlamydia and syphilis\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

From detecting pollution to wildfires, companies are finding AI can help translate vast amounts of climate-related data faster and more efficiently, says Sasha Luccioni, climate lead for AI company Hugging Face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luccioni notes it’s important to be cautious about whether AI is always necessary. Generative AI, which makes new content, can use large amounts of energy and have a big carbon footprint. But she says there are many applications for AI in the green transition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are four ways companies, researchers and governments use AI for climate solutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Using AI to detect planet-heating methane\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Methane emissions, the second biggest contributor to global warming after carbon dioxide, are climbing.

But there was no understanding of the sources.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Kayrros began in 2016, Halff says the world knew about only a handful of occurrences of large methane leaks and other releases. He says his team can now detect dozens of them every week and thousands yearly. “For methane,” Halff says, “AI really reveals things that could not be known.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The United Nations uses Kayrros’s AI-fueled data to verify that companies’ reports on methane emissions are accurate. Other governments are gearing up for more methane monitoring:\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/12/02/1216401828/epa-aims-to-slash-the-oil-industrys-climate-warming-methane-pollution\"> the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency\u003c/a> and\u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/eu-methane-emissions-law-pollution-0c7e15ee81a05aad88e56935ae24216f\"> the European Union\u003c/a> recently passed new methane regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because methane is so potent, targeting it through AI makes strategic sense, Halff says. “If you eliminate methane emissions today,” he says, “you can very quickly have an impact on the curve of global warming.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11971401\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1600px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2024/01/02/4-ways-ai-could-help-fight-climate-change/gettyimages-1351224007_custom-0e5e0ed77722cb64595a41f527f6769e6304ddff-s1600-c85/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11971401\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11971401\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/gettyimages-1351224007_custom-0e5e0ed77722cb64595a41f527f6769e6304ddff-s1600-c85.jpg\" alt=\"a field of gas and oil drills\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1054\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/gettyimages-1351224007_custom-0e5e0ed77722cb64595a41f527f6769e6304ddff-s1600-c85.jpg 1600w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/gettyimages-1351224007_custom-0e5e0ed77722cb64595a41f527f6769e6304ddff-s1600-c85-800x527.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/gettyimages-1351224007_custom-0e5e0ed77722cb64595a41f527f6769e6304ddff-s1600-c85-1020x672.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/gettyimages-1351224007_custom-0e5e0ed77722cb64595a41f527f6769e6304ddff-s1600-c85-160x105.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/gettyimages-1351224007_custom-0e5e0ed77722cb64595a41f527f6769e6304ddff-s1600-c85-1536x1012.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Companies like KoBold Metals and Earth AI are using AI to speed up the search for critical minerals like lithium, cobalt and copper.

They need to know things like the wind conditions and amount of moisture in the vegetation, says Yolanda Gil, director for strategic AI and data science initiatives at the Information Sciences Institute at the University of Southern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After interviewing fire scientists, Gil and their team used AI to create a so-called intelligent or smart assistant —like Apple’s Siri or Amazon’s Alexa —that can access vast data sets and complex models.

But there was no understanding of the sources.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Kayrros began in 2016, Halff says the world knew about only a handful of occurrences of large methane leaks and other releases.

"content": "\u003cp>If you are considering buying an electric car in 2024, there’s good news — and bad news: A hefty federal tax credit for electric vehicles is going to get easier to access next year, but fewer vehicles will likely qualify for the full $7,500 credit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tax credits are a key part of the Biden administration’s plan to speed up the shift to electric vehicles and slash carbon emissions from transportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, the government is also trying to push companies to bring more jobs to the U.S. by requiring a domestic supply chain. Those two goals can be in tension.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For car shoppers, the result can be confusing. We’ll do our best to help you navigate it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a practical, plain English guide to how the electric vehicle tax credit will work in 2024 — including why you may also consider leasing a car.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What’s new for 2024: instant rebate\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Starting in January, EV buyers won’t have to wait until the following year’s tax season to claim — and pocket — the clean vehicle tax credit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, there’s a new option to take the credit as a rebate right when you purchase the vehicle. This means that after a bit of paperwork at the dealership, the credit will be available as essentially cash in hand (or, more likely, knocked off the cost of the vehicle) on the day of purchase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It will work like this: First, after confirming the sale is eligible for the tax credit, the dealer basically fronts you the money. If you’re eligible for $7,500, the dealer credits you for that money as though you’d brought it in as cash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, the dealer submits documentation to the IRS, and the IRS pays back the dealer that $7,500 — effectively meaning the tax credit is being handled through the dealership.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>You, the buyer, still need to be under an income cap\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>An important part of this process is that as the buyer, you need to attest that you are under the income cap, that you’re buying the vehicle for your own use, and that you’re buying it to use in the United States. These \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/credits-for-new-clean-vehicles-purchased-in-2023-or-after\">requirements \u003c/a>have not changed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That income cap is based on “modified adjusted gross income” — your income after certain deductions (like retirement contributions). It’s generally Line 11 on your \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040.pdf\">1040 form\u003c/a>, but you’ll need to add those back in if you have foreign income or income from Guam or Puerto Rico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The income caps for new vehicles are:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>$300,000 for married couples filing jointly\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>$225,000 for heads of households\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>$150,000 for all other filers\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Note that adjusted gross income (AGI) is not the same as total income (your salary before any deductions) or taxable income (which is AGI minus standard or itemized deductions).[aside label=\"more EV coverage\" tag=\"electric-vehicles\"]“It’s definitely confusing,” says Alison Flores, a manager with the Tax Institute at H&R Block. “Let’s say you’re single. Your salary is $160,000 a year. You may say, ‘Oh, I don’t qualify because I’m over $150,000,'” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But contributions to a 401(k), for instance, could easily mean your AGI is actually under the limit, she explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What if you aren’t sure how much money you’ll make in 2024? You can use the previous year’s income to qualify — as long as you are under that cap in either 2023 or 2024, you’re eligible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if you make more than you expected? If you tell the dealer you are sure you met the income cap requirement, and it turns out you were over the cap in both 2023 and 2024, then you will need to repay the IRS the $7,500 tax credit when you file your 2024 taxes.

Also, starting next year, battery components can’t come from companies controlled by China.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The list of qualifying cars is shifting\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>So which cars will qualify next year? Good question. Again, you can check \u003ca href=\"https://fueleconomy.gov/feg/tax2023.shtml#requirements\">fueleconomy.gov\u003c/a> for a list of eligible vehicles, but as of late December, the site hasn’t been updated for 2024.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some changes are likely. Tesla is warning buyers that some versions of the Model 3 will see their tax credit eligibility end after Dec. 31, and Ford believes the same is true for the Mustang Mach-E.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, Volkswagen is “cautiously optimistic” that the Chattanooga, Tennessee-built ID.4 will remain eligible, and General Motors says it expects to keep the credit for “many” of its EVs. Nissan is still assessing the status of its Leaf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Worth noting: It’s when a vehicle is \u003cem>delivered\u003c/em>, not when it’s ordered or paid for, that affects which year’s requirements apply. That means if the Mach-E does drop out of eligibility in 2024, a buyer who ordered the vehicle in December but picks it up on Jan. 1 will be out of luck.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Leasing a car could lead to far fewer restrictions\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If you want to lease a vehicle, you can forget everything you just read.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vehicles that are leased to consumers can be eligible for a version of the tax credit that is much easier to qualify for. It has no requirement that vehicles be made in America, no price cap for vehicles and no income caps. So if you want to lease a Kia EV6 from South Korea or a six-figure luxury sedan? Go to town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The credit goes to the company leasing out the vehicle — not the person driving it — and companies aren’t required to pass the savings on to consumers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, companies typically do pass along the discount in the form of a bonus applied at the start of the lease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, with a lease, you have caps on mileage per year, and you’re not paying off a vehicle that you’ll eventually own free and clear. Be sure to consider whether a lease meets your needs. Make sure the discount is actually passed along to you, and read your entire contract carefully.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>EV leases have \u003ca href=\"https://www.autonews.com/finance-insurance/ev-leasing-gets-boost-us-tax-credit-workaround\">increased dramatically\u003c/a> since April 2023, when many vehicles became ineligible for the purchase tax credit as the battery-sourcing restrictions \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/04/15/1169763545/electric-cars-vehicles-tax-credit-climate-bill\">kicked in\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Don’t forget: There is also a credit for buying a used EV\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Do the prices for new electric vehicles make you feel faint?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, if they do, consider used ones. That’s because if you buy a used electric vehicle in 2024, from model year 2022 or earlier, there’s a tax credit for you, too. It’s worth 30% of the sales price, up to $4,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This tax credit has a much lower income cap: $150,000 for a household and $75,000 for a single person. Again, that’s adjusted gross income, meaning an individual’s salary may be higher than that, and the person could still qualify.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a lower price cap, too: Vehicles must cost less than $25,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Used-EV prices have been falling rapidly lately, so while availability is still pretty tight, a qualifying vehicle is easier to find now than it used to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A couple of other requirements: This needs to be the first time the car was sold as a used vehicle since mid-2022. (That way, the IRS knows the used-vehicle credit gets applied only once.) You also have to buy the used vehicle from a dealership, not from an individual, and that dealership has to be \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/register-your-dealership-to-enable-credits-for-clean-vehicle-buyers\">registered with the IRS\u003c/a> to be able to report the sale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some buyers may be getting creative to meet that last requirement. The app Caramel, which is designed to facilitate private-party vehicle sales, is technically a licensed dealership. The company reports that EVs, and specifically used EVs potentially eligible for the tax credit, make up a surprisingly high percentage of transactions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caramel says it plans to offer the tax credit for 2024 as an upfront discount, just like a brick-and-mortar dealership would.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Finally, you can get a very hefty credit for a business vehicle\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If you run a business, you may be interested in the separate commercial tax credit for EVs, which provides up to $7,500 for a light vehicle and up to $40,000 for a larger vehicle, like a delivery truck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are far fewer restrictions on the commercial tax credit in terms of price cap or sourcing requirements. Of course, the vehicle does have to be used for a business purpose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The amount of the credit depends on the vehicle’s purchase price: More details are \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/commercial-clean-vehicle-credit\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And note that for a single vehicle, you can get \u003cem>either \u003c/em>the clean vehicle tax credit or the commercial vehicle tax credit, but \u003ca href=\"https://afdc.energy.gov/laws/13039\">not both\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2023 NPR.

We’ll do our best to help you navigate it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s a practical, plain English guide to how the electric vehicle tax credit will work in 2024 — including why you may also consider leasing a car.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>What’s new for 2024: instant rebate\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Starting in January, EV buyers won’t have to wait until the following year’s tax season to claim — and pocket — the clean vehicle tax credit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This means that after a bit of paperwork at the dealership, the credit will be available as essentially cash in hand (or, more likely, knocked off the cost of the vehicle) on the day of purchase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It will work like this: First, after confirming the sale is eligible for the tax credit, the dealer basically fronts you the money. If you’re eligible for $7,500, the dealer credits you for that money as though you’d brought it in as cash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, the dealer submits documentation to the IRS, and the IRS pays back the dealer that $7,500 — effectively meaning the tax credit is being handled through the dealership.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>You, the buyer, still need to be under an income cap\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>An important part of this process is that as the buyer, you need to attest that you are under the income cap, that you’re buying the vehicle for your own use, and that you’re buying it to use in the United States. These \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/credits-for-new-clean-vehicles-purchased-in-2023-or-after\">requirements \u003c/a>have not changed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That income cap is based on “modified adjusted gross income” — your income after certain deductions (like retirement contributions). It’s generally Line 11 on your \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040.pdf\">1040 form\u003c/a>, but you’ll need to add those back in if you have foreign income or income from Guam or Puerto Rico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The income caps for new vehicles are:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>$300,000 for married couples filing jointly\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>$225,000 for heads of households\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>$150,000 for all other filers\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Note that adjusted gross income (AGI) is not the same as total income (your salary before any deductions) or taxable income (which is AGI minus standard or itemized deductions).\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

You can use the previous year’s income to qualify — as long as you are under that cap in either 2023 or 2024, you’re eligible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if you make more than you expected? If you tell the dealer you are sure you met the income cap requirement, and it turns out you were over the cap in both 2023 and 2024, then you will need to repay the IRS the $7,500 tax credit when you file your 2024 taxes.

Make sure the discount is actually passed along to you, and read your entire contract carefully.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>EV leases have \u003ca href=\"https://www.autonews.com/finance-insurance/ev-leasing-gets-boost-us-tax-credit-workaround\">increased dramatically\u003c/a> since April 2023, when many vehicles became ineligible for the purchase tax credit as the battery-sourcing restrictions \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/04/15/1169763545/electric-cars-vehicles-tax-credit-climate-bill\">kicked in\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Don’t forget: There is also a credit for buying a used EV\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Do the prices for new electric vehicles make you feel faint?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, if they do, consider used ones. That’s because if you buy a used electric vehicle in 2024, from model year 2022 or earlier, there’s a tax credit for you, too. It’s worth 30% of the sales price, up to $4,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This tax credit has a much lower income cap: $150,000 for a household and $75,000 for a single person. Again, that’s adjusted gross income, meaning an individual’s salary may be higher than that, and the person could still qualify.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a lower price cap, too: Vehicles must cost less than $25,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Used-EV prices have been falling rapidly lately, so while availability is still pretty tight, a qualifying vehicle is easier to find now than it used to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A couple of other requirements: This needs to be the first time the car was sold as a used vehicle since mid-2022. (That way, the IRS knows the used-vehicle credit gets applied only once.) You also have to buy the used vehicle from a dealership, not from an individual, and that dealership has to be \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/register-your-dealership-to-enable-credits-for-clean-vehicle-buyers\">registered with the IRS\u003c/a> to be able to report the sale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some buyers may be getting creative to meet that last requirement. The app Caramel, which is designed to facilitate private-party vehicle sales, is technically a licensed dealership. The company reports that EVs, and specifically used EVs potentially eligible for the tax credit, make up a surprisingly high percentage of transactions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caramel says it plans to offer the tax credit for 2024 as an upfront discount, just like a brick-and-mortar dealership would.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Finally, you can get a very hefty credit for a business vehicle\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If you run a business, you may be interested in the separate commercial tax credit for EVs, which provides up to $7,500 for a light vehicle and up to $40,000 for a larger vehicle, like a delivery truck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are far fewer restrictions on the commercial tax credit in terms of price cap or sourcing requirements. Of course, the vehicle does have to be used for a business purpose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The amount of the credit depends on the vehicle’s purchase price: More details are \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/commercial-clean-vehicle-credit\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It has a pretty straightforward setup, Skreta says: “You enter the game, you’re placed somewhere in the world on Google Street View, and you’re supposed to place a pin on the map that is your best guess of the location.” [aside postID=news_11960814 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/09/091123-PHOTO-AI-RM-01-KQED-1020x673.jpg']The game has over 50 million players who compete in world championships, adds Silas Alberti, another member of the project. “It has YouTubers, Twitch streamers, pro players.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The students wanted to see if they could build an AI player that could do better than humans. They started with an existing system for analyzing images called \u003ca href=\"https://openai.com/research/clip\">CLIP\u003c/a>. It’s a neural network program that can learn about visual images just by reading text about them, and it’s built by OpenAI, the same company that makes ChatGPT.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Stanford students trained their version of the system with images from Google Street View.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We created our own dataset of around 500,000 street view images,” Alberti says. “That’s actually not that much data, [and] we were able to get quite spectacular performance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The team added additional pieces to the program, including one that helped the AI classify images by their position on the globe. When completed, the PIGEON system could identify the location of a Google Street View image anywhere on Earth. [pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Silas Alberti, PhD student, Stanford University\"]‘We created our own dataset of around 500,000 street view images. That’s actually not that much data, [and] we were able to get quite spectacular performance.’[/pullquote]It guesses the correct country 95% of the time and can usually pick a location within about 25 miles of the actual site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next, they pitted their algorithm against a human. Specifically, a really good human named Trevor Rainbolt. Rainbolt is a legend in geoguessing circles —he recently geolocated \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0P96JBS-ei/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==\">a photo of a random tree\u003c/a> in Illinois, just for kicks — but he met his match with PIGEON. In \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/ts5lPDV--cU?si=6yPIPfSyMmVHZh8r\">a head-to-head competition\u003c/a>, he lost multiple rounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We weren’t the first AI that played against Rainbolt,” Alberti says. “We’re just the first AI that won against Rainbolt.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Noticing the little things\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>PIGEON excels because it can pick up on all the little clues humans can, and many more subtle ones, like slight differences in foliage, soil, and weather. [pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Michal Skreta, student, Stanford University\"]‘You like this destination in Italy; where in the world could you go if you want to see something similar?’[/pullquote]The group says the technology has all kinds of potential applications. It could identify roads or power lines that need fixing, help monitor biodiversity, or be used as a teaching tool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Skreta believes ordinary people will also find it useful: “You like this destination in Italy; where in the world could you go if you want to see something similar?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To test PIGEON’s performance, I gave it five personal photos from a trip I took across America years ago, none of which have been published online. Some photos were snapped in cities, but a few were taken in places nowhere near roads or other easily recognizable landmarks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That didn’t seem to matter much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It guessed a campsite in Yellowstone within around 35 miles of the actual location. The program placed another photo, taken on a street in San Francisco, within a few city blocks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not every photo was an easy match: The program mistakenly linked one image taken on the front range of Wyoming to a spot along the front range of Colorado, more than a hundred miles away. And it guessed that a picture of the Snake River Canyon in Idaho was of the Kawarau Gorge in New Zealand (in fairness, the two landscapes look remarkably similar). [aside label='More Stories on Artificial Intelligence' tag='artificial-intelligence']The ACLU’s Jay Stanley thinks despite these stumbles, the program clearly shows the potential power of AI.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fact that this was done as a student project makes you wonder what could be done by, for example, Google,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Google already has a feature known as “location estimation,” which uses AI to guess a photo’s location. Currently, it only uses a catalog of roughly a million landmarks rather than the\u003ca href=\"https://blog.google/products/maps/street-view-15-new-features/#:~:text=Fast%20forward%20to%20today%3A%20There,from%20their%20phone%20or%20computer.\"> 220 billion street-view images\u003c/a> that Google has collected. The company told NPR that users \u003ca href=\"https://support.google.com/photos/answer/6153599?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid\">can disable the feature\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanley worries that companies might soon use AI to track where you’ve traveled or that governments might check your photos to see if you’ve visited a country on a watchlist. Stalking and abuse are also obvious threats, he says. In the past, Stanley says, people have been able to remove GPS location tagging from photos they post online. That may not work anymore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Stanford graduate students are well aware of the risks. They’ve written \u003ca href=\"https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.05845\">a paper\u003c/a> on their technique, which they co-authored with their professor, Chelsea Finn — but they’ve held back from making their full model publicly available precisely because of these concerns, they say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Stanley thinks using AI for geolocation will become even more powerful going forward. He doubts there’s much to be done — except to be aware of what’s in the background photos you post online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

But he said the incentives remain basically the same for Trump’s team to slow the process down and for the other side to speed things up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It punts this a few months down the road but doesn’t actually stop the clock on any of the other proceedings,” he explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while the Supreme Court has a \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/07/13/1185496055/supreme-court-conservative-majority-thomas-trump-bush\">conservative supermajority\u003c/a>, including three justices appointed by Trump himself, it’s unclear how it would rule on the Colorado appeal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim Wehle, a professor at the University of Baltimore School of Law, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/12/20/1220559030/constitutional-scholar-discusses-colorado-ruling-baaring-trump-from-primary-ball\">told \u003cem>Morning Edition\u003c/em>\u003c/a> that she believes the Supreme Court would take this case seriously because of the massive implications it holds not just for 2024 but for future elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think there should be an incentive along the way to say to would-be presidents, ‘Listen, don’t do what happened on Jan. 6, there’ll be consequences for it,'” she added. “But we’re in a politicized world, and we have, arguably, a politicized Supreme Court.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Experts say it could choose to send the case back to the state level or avoid ruling on the merits in some other way (like focusing on the wording of the clause, as the lower court in Colorado did).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is not the only consequential case regarding Trump at the Supreme Court. The federal special counsel has asked the justices to quickly decide whether the former president \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/12/11/1218558297/trump-immunity-supreme-court-election-case\">enjoyed broad immunity\u003c/a> from criminal charges as a result of his office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When considering the 14th Amendment, Levitt says the tough question is not whether Trump is qualified to hold office but who gets to make that call. He believes the courts will want to leave it up to voters and says he’s a little skeptical that “the law is going to decide this issue before the people do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are a lot of questions that, if we get to November and the American people decide they don’t want him as their chief executive, that the courts never have to decide,” he adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR’s Vanessa Romo contributed reporting.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

It is in this spirit that I have decided to depart the House at the end of this year to serve America in new ways. I know my work is only getting started.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCarthy was removed as speaker earlier this year in a rare House vote.
