In the absence of a strong renewable energy policy at the federal level, the state government plays a key role in wind policy, begging the question: Will the rest of the US follow Minnesota's lead?
Curb Your Enthusiasm 12
Channel: M-Net (DStv 101)
TX Time: 23h30
Genre: Comedy
Final season!
Seinfeld co-creator Larry David stars as an over-the-top version of himself in an unsparing but tongue-in-cheek depiction of his fictionalised life.
The series continues to prove how seemingly trivial details of one's day-to-day life - a cold cup of coffee, a stained shirt, a missing toothbrush - can precipitate a catastrophic chain of events.
To keep the narrative spontaneous, the series is shot without a script and cast members are given scene outlines and improvise lines as they go.
In the Season 12 premiere, "Atlanta": The final season kicks off with Larry heading to Georgia to appear at a businessman's birthday party.
Leon visits his Auntie Rae and later, Larry has trouble with his glasses and faces off with a grumpy hotel cleaner.
