Our Failing Infrastructure
A nation’s infrastructure provides the base upon which economic growth is built. Examples include roads, water systems, mass transportation, airports, and utilities which support growth of productive activities like agriculture and industry. Infrastructure spending enhances the productive capacity of an economy by helping individuals and businesses produce and sell goods and services more efficiently. It creates jobs, boosts tourism, aids in the transportation of goods, connects people to more opportunities for better healthcare, education, etc., and is important for social change and development. Unfortunately, U.S. infrastructure maintenance and improvement has been substantially underfunded allowing significant degradation of all its components. Continue reading

Climate Change Progress
Governments are finally acceding to warnings from climate scientists concerning climate change due to the rapidly increasing number of extreme weather events. U.S. goals, while fairly ambitious, remain potentially achievable with the major obstacles being political rather than technological. Continue reading

Energy Providers and Response
It seems to me…. “Well, the responsibility for maintaining a reliable transmission grid is one that’s shared by an awful lot of players who have a role in the grid: Companies that either generate and transmit energy or just play … Continue reading
