The relationship between the price of oil and the slaughter that took place at Fort Hood is hardly as far-fetched as it would appear.
Government's stewardship responsibility is recognized in the body of laws past congresses developed once we realized that burning rivers, poisoned water, and dangerous air were not in the national interest.
Last month, Huffington Post and the No Impact Project hosted a No Impact Week to encourage readers to live better by living lighter. Colin Beavan's No...
There is no nuclear renaissance -- at most a faint glimmer of hope for the end of a long nuclear dark age. Initial drafts of climate change and energy legislation do little to promote nuclear development.
I've always been puzzled by our efforts to leave a private legacy for our children while neglecting our public legacy, the character and quality of our commonwealth and its resources that we also leave to our children.
Transformative science is high-risk high-reward inquiry. It's crucial that government take the lead in this regard, especially with the U.S. economy struggling.
It is long past time that our government take seriously and study intensely how oil prices are determined in a world of OPEC, speculation, timid oversight and failing transparency.
I've written before about my resolution to Get more sleep, and I'm bringing it up again, because I'm truly convinced that this is one of the first aspects of life to tackle when you start a happiness project.
Once rolled out, the training program could create hundreds of thousands of new jobs, reduce energy costs by $3.5 billion per year, and save 500 million barrels of oil annually.

Even if geoengineering works magnificently to cool down the Earth (and right now, that's definitely an "if"), it won't meet growing energy demand from countries like India and China.
Everyone is in search of which clean energy option will be the US's savior from fossil fuels. While wind looks promising, a perfect storm of opportunities might make solar the best game in town.
A new study found coal to be the costliest of all fossil fuels -- to the tune of $62 billion a year. Indeed, the damage caused by the nation's 406 coal-fired plants is far worse than any other energy source.
I'm not going to argue with Sarah Palin about the need for US energy independence, but clearly one doesn't have to sing a James Taylor song to know that we can't continue burning fossil fuels forever.
