The Question
by Vinny
There has been a debate for a while that instead of turning off the lights when you leave a room, keep them on constantly to save the energy it takes to turn them on and off. Sometime last year the Mythbusters of Discovery Channel proved this wrong. What was found out is that a regular light bulb's start up energy is equivalent to having it on for around 0.5 seconds. Even with the huge lights that take a while to warm up take as much electricity as about 20 seconds of constant light. So always turn off those lights that aren't helping to save the environment, and your money.

U.S.A to Build New Nuclear Power Plants
by Vinny
The United States is going to build its' first nuclear power plant since the accident at 3 Mile Island. I don't know why we haven't built any more new ones since they are clean, and very safe if done the right way. No one died in the 3 Mile Island accident and it did nothing to the environment. There are getting to be fewer and fewer skeptics of this form of energy, so hopefully it will meet little opposition. For more information, click here.

Analyzinf coal-bed methane's effects on water
By: Garrett
Federal officials are studying the effects of the Rocky Mountain Region's energy boom on water. A meeting of National Academy of Sciences, and federal regulators met Sunday to review the effects of coal-bed methane drilling on the surface and groundwater. The BLM asked the National Research Council of The National Academy of Sciences to review information about coal-bed methane's effect on water. The study will focus on coal-bed methane in Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, North Dakota, and Utah.
