DAVOS, Switzerland, Jan. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As one of the leading global green steel producers, with 15 million tons/year crude steel capacity, Tosyalı continues to expand its efforts to produce its energy. Tosyalı invests in cutting-edge technology, artificial intelligence, and renewable and clean energy sources, adhering to the principle of eco-efficiency.
Tosyalı is making significant strides toward becoming a fully integrated green steel producer. Tosyalı achieved a global milestone by reaching 235 MW of installed capacity with its SPP project, which covered all its facilities, making it the holder of the world's largest rooftop solar power installation.
Tosyalı is embarking on an even larger project, and the company has signed an agreement with GE Vernova and its regional provider Inogen for the first 120 MWp of the 1,2 GW self-consumption SPP project. The first project is scheduled to become operational in 2025, while the 1,2 GW capacity project is targeted for completion in 2027.
Fuat Tosyalı, Chairman of Tosyalı Holding, announced at Davos 2025: '
During his interview at the World Economic Forum, Fuat Tosyalı highlighted, 'We continue to invest in advanced clean energy technologies under our vision of 'Tosyalı for a sustainable life.' We have taken the first step toward one of the world's largest self-consumption SPP projects with a capacity of 1,2 GW by initiating the first project in Osmaniye. We are happy to collaborate with GE Vernova, one of the world's leading companies in this field, and Inogen, Turkey's leading EPC contractor. These panels will be deployed across SPP sites in eight provinces. By doing so, we aim to meet approximately 50% of our energy needs from solar energy, making us stronger and more independent in energy usage and strengthening our position among the world's leading green steel producers."
Tosyalı's 1,2 GW project stands out as one of the largest self-consumption-focused projects carried out under a single umbrella in Turkey and worldwide.

I ordered a Chick-fil-A family meal deal. We saved money, but I'm not sure the value was there.

I ordered a family-style meal deal at Chick-fil-A for myself, my wife, and two kids. We spent about $50 for 10 chicken tenders, four sides, and four desserts. The tenders were great. Overall, the food wasn't bad, but I wouldn't say this was that great of a value for my family. Recently, while running errands on a weeknight in Midtown Manhattan, my family of four stopped at Chick-fil-A. Raising two kids on a fairly tight budget in New York City means making sacrifices. For us, that's cooking most of our meals at home and being choosy about where and when we dine out. If I'm ordering my family dinner — especially from a fast-food chain in one of the culinary capitals of the world — it ought to at least be a decent value. So, we tried one of the chain's family-style meal deals. The meal was a bit harder to get than I expected. Chick-fil-A's family-style meals include items and prices that vary by location, but they usually include a combination of mains, sides, and desserts. The meals were prominently displayed on Chick-fil-A's online menu when I checked, but when I tried to order one at the counter, I was told I could not. Instead, I had to download the app to order the 10-count Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Strips family-style meal, which was a little annoying. I already have plenty of apps on my phone, and this step felt unnecessary since I was prepared to order in person. Our food was ready in a few minutes. The meal I ordered cost $47.99 and came with 10 chicken strips, two orders of waffle fries, two orders of mac and cheese, two chocolate chip cookies, and two brownies. It was ready in just a few minutes. We were dining in, but because I ordered on the app, it came packed up to go, sturdily packaged in a manageable-sized bag. The chicken strips impressed us right away. When you've got little kids, you can wind up eating a lot of stray chicken tenders. In many cases, the breading is caked on and the chicken is overcooked to the point of chewiness. That was not the case at Chick-fil-A. The strips were nicely salty and mildly seasoned, with a hint of crispiness in the breading and moist meat that tasted freshly cooked. By the standards of fast-food chicken tenders, Chick-fil-A's get five out of five stars. My wife and I both thought the chicken strips were the best part of the meal. One of our sides was waffle fries, which my kids liked more than I did. Family meals at Chick-fil-A are available with sides in multiple configurations. We chose two orders of waffle fries and two orders of mac and cheese, but we could've switched up those ratios or swapped in a fruit cup. The waffle fries were a hit with my kids, probably because they tend to like the saltiest part of any meal. I was underwhelmed. I didn't think they had much flavor besides salt, and they weren't really crispy at all. We were impressed by the mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was a pleasant surprise. It looked and tasted like it had been baked as a casserole — a homestyle mac and cheese with nice texture and flavor from the creamy sauce and chunks of browned baked cheese. We had two different desserts to round out our meal. All Chick-fil-A family meals available on the app come with two brownies and two chocolate chip cookies. There's a nostalgic appeal to the desserts at Chick-fil-A, especially when you compare them to the garish, enormous sweets sold at popular cookie chains. These treats seemed like something you might find at a school bake sale: Moderate portions and classic flavors. My kids loved the fudgy gooeyness of the brownie, but my wife thought it just seemed a little underdone. Our kids loved both of them. The cookies had big chunks of melty chocolate and a nice combination of outer crunch and interior softness. I didn't detect any of the artificial chewiness you can sometimes find in mass-produced cookies. Both desserts were huge hits with my kids. Overall, I can't say I was particularly impressed by the meal's value. I didn't think this meal was an especially good value. Adding up the individual components — $23.49 for a 10-piece Chick-n-Strips, $3.85 each for medium waffle fries, $5.35 each for mac and cheese, $2.19 each for the cookies, $2.99 each for the brownies — comes to $52.25. So, I saved less than $5 by going with a family meal. Plus, this choice locks everyone in the family into the same meal (I would've preferred a spicy chicken sandwich). After we added in two drinks (iced tea/lemonades) and a fruit cup (for our 7-year-old dabbling in vegetarianism), we spent about $65 on our dinner. That's almost twice as much as it'd cost us to eat at a local pizzeria, and about exactly the same as we'd pay to eat our fill from a broader variety of options at a nearby Shake Shack, our usual go-to for quick, casual meals. Even adjusting my expectations for the location in Midtown Manhattan (which tends to be expensive), the price felt high for what we got.

Former In-N-Out employee accuses burger chain of discriminatory firing for natural hair

A former In-N-Out employee is suing the West Coast burger chain for alleged discriminatory treatment and termination due to his natural hair. Elijah Obeng filed a lawsuit against In-N-Out, alleging he was discriminated against and fired based on his natural hairstyle and texture. Obeng claims he has suffered damages from the termination, including emotional distress, reputational harm and loss of employment, court documents state. He is seeking $3 million in damages and $200,000 in pay he would have earned since his firing or could have earned in the future. In-N-Out declined to comment to USA TODAY on June 18, citing ongoing litigation. Obeng and his lawyer did not immediately respond to request for comment. Lawsuit accuses In-N-Out of 'humiliating and discriminatory' action According to court documents, Obeng began working at an In-N-Out restaurant in June 2020 after graduating from high school. He continued to work for the chain until he was terminated in spring 2024. Obeng went to work with his natural hair, in accordance with In-N-Out's grooming and uniform policy, the lawsuit reads. When Obeng's hair got longer, he was instructed by management to cut or alter it to fit under the required uniform hat. In an effort to comply with the policy, Obeng began wearing his hair in braids. Management then told him, court documents state, that he needed to cut his sideburns, which Obeng found "humiliating and discriminatory." When he did not cut his sideburns, Obeng began experiencing different treatment. He was punished for minor policy violations, like not attending work meetings, which Obeng claims his colleagues did not face, the lawsuit reads. In-N-Out's grooming and uniform policy is not readily accessible online, but Indeed forums indicate that male workers must arrive to shifts clean-shaven, with no facial hair. On around May 25, 2024, Obeng clocked in for what would be his last shift at In-N-Out. Upon his arrival, management told him to go home, shave his sideburns and return, court documents state. Instead, Obeng left and texted his supervisor that he would return for his next shift. A few days later, Obeng was fired, which In-N-Out claimed was due to prior write-ups, according to court documents. Obeng, however, alleges that his termination was because of his "ancestry, color and race, including his natural hairstyle and hair texture." Former employee says In-N-Out violated CROWN Act In the lawsuit, Obeng says In-N-Out violated the CROWN Act, a law that prohibits employers from discrimination based on hairstyle and texture. Standing for "Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair," the law was first passed in California in 2019 with the help of Dove, the CROWN Coalition and Los Angeles County Supervisor Holly Mitchell. As of June 18, the CROWN Act is law in 27 states, according to The CROWN Act website. Greta Cross is a national trending reporter at USA TODAY. Story idea? Email her at gcross@
