California’s Drought Linked To Greenhouse gases
California’s drought linked to greenhouse gases, climate change in Stanford study By Lisa M. Krieger | lkrieger@mercurynews.com The stubborn high-pressure systems that block California rains are linked to the abundance of human-caused greenhouse gases that heat the oceans, according to a major paper released Monday by Stanford scientists. But … Continue reading
Solar Power With Gold Nanocluster Technology
Western scientists revolutionize solar power with new “gold nanocluster” technology September 25, 2014 Scientists at Western University have discovered that a small molecule created with just 144 atoms of gold can increase solar cell performance by more than 10 per cent. These findings, published recently by the high-impact journal Nanoscale, … Continue reading
China’s South–North Water Transfer Project
The South–North Water Transfer Project is a multi-decade infrastructure project of the People’s Republic of China to better utilize water resources available to China. This is to be achieved through the South North Water Diversion Project (SNWD). While the main thrust is to divert water from the Yangtze … Continue reading

Water-vulnerable American Cities
This study at the Environmental Hydrology Laboratory at the University of Florida ranks 225 American cities with populations greater than 100,000 on fresh water availability and vulnerability. For method details, see Padowski, J. C., and J. W. Jawitz, 2012. Water availability and vulnerability of 225 large cities in the United … Continue reading
Drought
It’s easy to loose sight of how our normal activities of daily living impact the environment on which we all depend for our livelihood. But they do –profoundly. The environment is being over exploited, and it shows: climate change, pollution, fresh water depletion, declining food production, deforestation, and ocean … Continue reading
Drawbacks
October 15, 2014 Lockheed Martin announced that it has made a fusion-related technological breakthrough. It would use deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen found in the ocean, to generate nearly 10 million times more energy that the same amount of fossil fuels. There would be no radioactive waste. At first glance … Continue reading
