Catherine Frazier Texas is already leading as Trump's energy agenda begins to focus Donald Trump made it clear in his massive executive action after the sworn in that he intends to follow the Texas pro-energy model based on deregulation, innovation and exploration.

Daily Skeptics Chris Morrison Solar farms are about to reach a field near you, an ecological disaster that transforms productivity land into natural death zones. Birds often fly into panels, mistake them for water, and electrochemical and incineration are common. Once opened to large areas of sunlight, large coverage can lead to huge habitat damage and reduced insect populations. Just like the ground below the mileage of panels made in China, all of which are overshadowed by mainstream media and directorial courses that are desperate to keep net zero kite flying. “Bird mortality has become an unexpected result of renewable…
President Donald Trump's second vow has filed several executive orders to the country, especially the island of Puerto Rico on U.S. territory.

One of the executive orders that affect the entire planet is the executive order to establish the historic Paris Agreement on Climate Change in the United States.

One of the biggest myths about renewable energy is that it is unreliable. Of course, the sun sets down every night, bringing the solar panels and turbines to sleep. But when these renewables buzz, they provide power and battery charge to the grid and then provide power at night. A new study conducted in the journal Renewable Energy, which examines the deployment of renewable energy in California, highlights the reliability of the future of energy. It found that last year, renewable energy met 100% of the state's electricity demand for up to 10 hours in 98 days of 116 days,…
Transcript: With the warmer climate, strong storms, floods and landslides are becoming more common. These disasters are associated with higher domestic violence against women – even if the weather events ended for a long time. In a recent study, Jenevieve Mannell of University College London and his team analyzed data on the prevalence of intimate partner violence in 156 countries. They compared it with data on weather disasters in each country.
