EIA: Today in Energy Nuclear Energy and Outages As the country reaches the summer peak electricity demand season, nearly all United States nuclear generators have returned from refueling outages
The governors of Florida, Texas, and North Carolina have all pledged that they will not spend taxpayer money subsidizing the liberal arts, and they seem to have an unlikely ally in President Obama. Read MoreBiology NowAnne Houtman, Megan Scudellari, Cindy Malone, Anu Singh-Cundy Written by a science journalist and teachers with over thirty years experience in the classroom, Biology Now skillfully blends core biology concepts with popular science stories of real people doing science today
Solar Panels from Wholesale Solar
California Leads the Nation In 2006, California made a major long-term commitment to solar power by passing the California Solar Initiative, a ten-year incentive program with the goal of installing 3,000 megawatts of solar panels on the equivalent of one million rooftops. Vanguard I, the first solar-powered satellite celebrated its 53rd birthday this year, setting mileage records and holding the title of being the oldest artificial satellite still in orbit

Full Story Small Asteroid to Pass Close by Earth on Sunday (2014 RC) September 3, 2014 A small asteroid, designated 2014 RC, will safely pass very close to the Earth on Sunday, 7 September 2014. Full Story The First Discovered Asteroid of 2014 Collides With Earth - An Update January 3, 2014 Several sources confirm that the first discovered asteroid of 2014, designated 2014 AA, entered the Earth's atmosphere late January 1 EST over the mid-Atlantic Ocean
Instead of being based on fossil fuels, a Plan B economy will be powered by abundant sources of renewable energy: wind, solar, geothermal, hydropower, and biofuels
How to destroy the Earth @ Things Of Interest
In the last minutes, stars and planets will come apart, and atoms will be destroyed a fraction of a second before the end of time." Cool, eh? Earth's final resting place: HAH! If I knew that, I wouldn't need aftershave. The concept is simple: find a really, really big asteroid or planet, accelerate it up to some dazzling speed, and smash it into Earth, preferably head-on but whatever you can manage
(4) Non-Apophis Conclusions Aspects of the study relevant to asteroids other than Apophis: The Standard Dynamical Model can misestimate impact risk for the more numerous sub-km objects preceded by close planetary encounter(s). Amplification of small trajectory offsets makes valid prediction across a close-encounter difficult without physical knowledge, but offers the potential to redirect the entire uncertainty region and has significant implications for costly spacecraft missions
NREL: Learning - Wind Energy Basics
Wind turbines can be used as stand-alone applications, or they can be connected to a utility power grid or even combined with a photovoltaic (solar cell) system
Encyclopedia of Earth
Unlike the surrounding woodlands that generally support animals only in rather low densities, the wetlands and floodplains of this ecoregion provide habitats to sizable faunal populations, since food and water are abundant throughout the majority of the year. Herbivores can vary greatly in size, ranging from the largest terrestrial animals (elephants) and large marine mammals such as manatees and dugongs, to small insects, nematodes, and thrips
Take Action Save Bees From a Highly Toxic Pesticide Bee populations are plummeting! Yet, EPA has sided with Dow AgroSciences to approve the new bee-killing pesticide sulfoxaflor. Take Action Stop Arctic Drilling! Tell President Obama: America can do better than risk environmental disaster by allowing the oil industry to explore for dirty oil in the Arctic Ocean
The Energy Story - Introduction
The forms of energy we will look at include: Electricity Biomass Energy - energy from plants Geothermal Energy Fossil Fuels - Coal, Oil and Natural Gas Hydro Power and Ocean Energy Nuclear Energy Solar Energy Wind Energy Transportation Energy We will also look at turbines and generators, at what electricity is, how energy is sent to users, and how we can decrease or conserve the energy we use
