Violence & Climate Change: Warming & Storming Disrupt Human Lives
Have you ever thought that society might be a bit rougher at the edges, and interpersonal and intergroup conflict more frequent, in the summertime? or in the tropics? New research clearly links social violence with the occurrence of climate change. People often attribute individual and regional conflicts to geography. The … [continued]
Solar Decathlon Alum Now Helps Many Reduce Their Energy Use
1Sun4All. The Energy Department’s Solar Decathlon has a bit of news to bring you up to speed. The first is that the 2015 competition lineup has been updated to include the withdrawal of Stanford University. Stanford University previously competed in Solar Decathlon 2013, where it placed fifth overall with its Start.Home entry. You can view … [continued]
Both Red & Blue States Green On Energy, Stanford Says
With Congress squelching innovation in Washington, we need to look to the states for policies green on energy. A study released by Stanford University and the Hoover Institution this week (The State Clean Energy Cookbook: A Dozen Recipes for State Action on Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy) cites 12 innovative projects … [continued]
