The Resilient Infrastructure + Secure Energy Consortium (RISE) has informed the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission about changes in its membership. This notification aims to extend certain legal protections under the National Cooperative Research and Production Act, allowing limited recovery of damages by antitrust plaintiffs. Ten new organizations, including AlumaPower Energy from Canada and V.I. Vernadsky Taurida National University from Ukraine, have joined RISE. The group's membership remains open, and they intend to announce any future changes.
Simple Explanation
The Resilient Infrastructure + Secure Energy group told the government about new members joining them, which helps them get some special legal protections; they added ten new friends from different places to work with them.
