Let me first say that I find it a little surprising how many people are freaked out by immigration. Countries that lose population or have a stagnant population face economic struggles. Countries with a strong level of immigration get a massive economic boost. The United States is a country of … [continued]
In Part 1, I explained how the border wall is an important cleantech issue. We have a range of options to choose from, and a smaller range of options that are politically feasible. We need to work within that range to find the option that uses technology to generate the … [continued]

The Republicans blame mental health, and maybe video games. I know some will tell me that’s an oversimplification, but trust me, the most nuanced reality of what the talking heads are regurgitating is nowhere near as complex as the truth.
Researchers at Northwestern University have developed new battery chemistry they say will make batteries less expensive with up to 4 times the storage capacity of typical lithium-ion batteries.
