Ohio now becomes the 26th state, including California, New York and Texas, to adopt renewable energy portfolio standards (RPS) -- tough new laws which are creating one of the most dramatic shifts in the delivery of energy to American consumers ever.
MIT Professor Dara Entekhabi will lead the science team designing a NASA satellite mission to make global soil moisture and freeze/thaw measurements, data essential to the accuracy of weather forecasts and predictions of global carbon cycle and climate.
Unlike people, not all houses are created equal. Now, even the most entrenched principles around which houses have been built are being challenged.
