Attribution science, which is about understanding the role of climate change versus natural weather patterns and climate variability, can help us better understand the connections between extreme weather and climate change, provide new insight into what specific emissions are driving the worst impacts, and help shape climate solutions. Two types … [continued]
In Part 1, I discussed how teardrop shapes tend to make for the best aerodynamic efficiency, why that is, and then how things go wrong with many bogus almost-a-teardrop designs. In this article, I’m going to discuss one more aspect of aerodynamic design, how to actually optimize a larger trailer … [continued]
For most people, the ultimate camper is one with as much luxury and as much space as possible. This often means something the size of a bus, and sometimes even bigger and taller. I get why people like that, but the cost of moving it around means you’d better have … [continued]
Last week, the White House’s Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) provided new guidance to federal agencies to ensure that federally funded research is accessible to all. OSTP has been working on this policy for at least two years and, in response to OSTP’S request for information on the … [continued]
NREL Leads Article Series To Review Wind Energy Research Needs and Propose Actions To Help Reach Worldwide Decarbonization Goals Wind energy will play a central role in shifting the world’s electricity supply to renewable sources within the next two decades. For wind power to fulfill this role, critical challenges around … [continued]
Harnessing the power of waves, tides, and currents could unlock the secrets to achieving greater energy security with minimal environmental impact. By some estimates, there are enough marine energy resources in the U.S. to meet a whopping 57 percent of the nation’s energy needs — supporting a clean energy future and … [continued]
The EPA’s Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) draft assessment found that breathing even small quantities of formaldehyde throughout a person’s lifetime is associated with an increased risk of leukemia and the development of head, neck and sinus cancer; asthma; allergies; decreased lung function; and even reproductive issues.
The H2 Science Coalition is only months old, formed in November 2021 as an independent advocacy and PR group for hydrogen sanity. It’s intended to counter the bags of money going into hydrogen PR that is contrary to elementary physics and economics.
T&E says gas must be removed from green investments list after expert group finds EU decision is not science based.
