A federal judge has overturned a rule put in place by the Trump administration that made it harder for wind and solar projects to receive federal tax breaks. The decision, issued by Judge Colleen Kollar‑Kotelly in Washington, DC, says the Treasury Department’s Internal Revenue Service (IRS) did not
The latest round of climate chatter begins with a claim that China has hidden its real carbon output. Some say the country now looks cleaner because it changed how it counts emissions, but data shows its totals are still climbing. In fact, China’s yearly CO₂ output grew from about 7. 9 billion ton
In recent weeks, a debate has grown around how Virginia’s rising electricity bills are tied to the growth of data centers. The argument is not only about cost; it also touches on climate policy and the future of energy production. Virginia’s power prices have climbed sharply, putting pressure on
Alaska’s energy future isn’t just about one massive gas line project. While the big question of liquified natural gas often steals the spotlight, the real challenge lies in balancing different energy needs across the state. From small homes to large industrial mines, everyone relies on energy that’s
Chicago’s mayor has a rule: no campaign money from companies that do city work. But over the years, money still slips through. This time, an IT firm called EKI-Digital—already under fire for possible overbilling—sent a $250 donation to the mayor’s campaign. The timing is awkward. Just last year, the
A new lab at the University of Miami is turning ideas that once lived only in books into real tools for doctors. The building costs about five million dollars and sits inside the school of medicine in Miami’s Health District. Scientists there print living tissue, bone and other parts with mach
The idea of a voice inside your head can be as strange or familiar as you want it to feel. One woman says she never hears her own thoughts, while another keeps a nonstop inner chatter that she can’t ignore. The question is: how much do we really know about the private conversations that happen insid
Wind and solar plants do not always supply the electricity Greece needs. In a recent study, researchers used random‑variable models to check how often these green sources match demand. The results were surprising: solar panels cover only about a third of the yearly need, while wind turbines sa
A new way to turn salty sea water into drinkable fresh water uses only the sun and no harmful chemicals. Scientists say this method could help millions who have no clean water. The idea uses special panels that soak up sunlight and pull in a thin film of sea water. A tiny groove on the pane
Few people remember speeches given at graduation ceremonies years later. The excitement of stepping into the future often overshadows the words shared by speakers. One such graduate, lost in thought during a sea of celebrations, recalled an unexpected commencement talk. The speaker was a public heal
