It’s that time of year again, a time many people in the southeastern United States have come to expect and prepare for with resignation year after year. Even though hurricane season has been relatively quiet up to the middle of August, many are reminded of the fact that it doesn’t take more than one storm [...]

Apparently, when you’re rich and smart, there is no limit to what you (think you) can do. Let’s take Mr. Bill Gates for example. Gates is responsible for the multi-million dollar Microsoft Corporation and just came up with another idea.
This Microsoft founder wants to become a…wait for it…“hurricane slayer.”

Undeniably, the green movement is everywhere. It’s taking over everything…and it’s a good thing. Soon, we will have “green” revolutionaries leading us into the greener pastures of environmentalism.

Anyone who’s been to “sunny Florida” during the summertime is aware of the precipitation level.

Tornadoes have provided for some great cinema magic (i.e. “The Wizard of Oz”) but have also provided for many deaths and serious devastation. Severe weather investigators have been trying for years to determine what causes twisters to form. Luckily for them, on June 6, a tornado in Wyoming became the most documented twister of all [...]

As plant life began to resurge in some formerly cleared lands in California, Oregon and Washington over the course of the past 35 years, male white-crowned sparrows have lowered their whistling pitch and slowed down their long song-singing abilities so that their songs would carry better through the newer, thicker foliage.
Apparently, this is the [...]

As reported by the Associated Press, Jean-Louis Borloo, the French Minister of Ecology, believes that increasing the amount of solar plants in France would allow the country to produce four times the amount it produces now on solar power.
In total, it’s a 300 megawatt project that will mean solar plants for each region and [...]
