By a remarkable coincidence, the introduction of complete birth registration in the US had an effect on the number of supercentenarians similar to the effect that testing for steroids had on women's world records.

New record high for US solar power generation! Output was up more than 20% from July 2022 and up nearly 125% from July 2019!
