It turns out that growing food on the moon is pretty hard.  A team of scientists has done a lot of research on this and concluded that this is a significant stumbling barrier for humans trying to live on the…

Check out the tweet from Jan Rosenow @janrosenow "The height of wind turbines has increased close to 10-fold over the last 35 years. This has driven capacity upward by a factor of 250x for largest prototype." See: German onshore wind power…

The numbers are in and April was the 5th warmest globally on record.  Here's the tweet from NOAA. @NOAA (1 of 5) Just in: April 2022 tied as the fifth-warmest April on record for the globe, with record high #April…

Despite the fact that solar panels installed on our roofs will dramatically cut back on pollution, create many good-paying jobs, firm up our defenses against power outages, produce power when it is needed most, and lower our utility bills, the…

This Sunday night, a lunar eclipse will be visible across most of North America - including us here in the Midlands.  A lunar eclipse happens when the earth casts its shadow on the moon. As long as the skies stay…

Here's a game-changer when it comes to getting fresh drinking water from the Ocean. "Researchers have invented a desalination device that can turn seawater into drinking water at the push of a button. The technology uses a technique that essentially…

Temperatures across the planet are warming.  And that's consistent with what's happening here in Columbia.  The average temperature for the month of April in Columbia has increased by roughly 2.5 degrees since 1970.  This increase is caused by us humans…

Check out this tweet by Kevin Stevens @kevindstevens: "Cool graph of renewable energy by state. Contrary to popular belief, not a political issue, red and blue states alike moving into renewable power - we should celebrate this!"

One significant source of green (non-polluting) electricity is wind.  The primary cost is construction and the all the fuel after that is free and clean - wind.  General Electric is trying to trim the cost of transporting some components of…

One of the things that scientists have aggressively been exploring is life on other planets.  Well it appears that we might be closer to actually finding life - right here in our solar system, on one of the moons of…

Could humans survive the loneliness of living in space for a long time?  Two men volunteered to be the subjects of this study by living 61 days alone in a very confined space.  Here an excerpt from an article in…

A really, really old microfossil has been discovered in a rocks in Quebec, Canada.  Scientists believe these microfossils to be somewhere between 3.75 and 4.28 billion years old - somewhere between 200 and 700 million years older than previous microfossils…

The picture below tells the whole story in easy to understand, relatable noise comparisons.  If you are on the turbine itself, it's about as loud as a lawnmower.   Typically, wind turbines are not placed any closer than 1000 feet from…

On March 29th, Wind Power in the United States produced more electricity that coal and nuclear.  That's a pretty big deal.  Wind power is green - producing no pollution.  Unlike coal, with produces all sorts of pollution that is harmful…

When we look at pictures from space, it appears that the earth is perfectly round from every angle.  But that's not actually the case.  The earth is fatter at the equator.  That is, if you measured the circumference of the…

So how tall was the tallest wave ever recorded?  Would you believe 500 feet!!  Yes, 500 feet!!  That happened back in July 1958 a huge earthquake rocked Alaska.  This caused a huge landslide, which in turn triggered a gigantic tsunami…
