Likes to call solar power “the bridge to our future.” Since taking office in January, 2007, Gabby has been both a chief engineer and a tireless construction worker on that solar bridge.
“My mission as an elected official,” Gabby once said, “is to help move solar policy forward.”
A former Fulbright scholar with a Master’s degree in Regional Planning from Cornell University, Gabby brings a keen intellect and a solid understanding of our physical infrastructure to the debate on the nation’s ene
In Our Backyard (A Monsanto Introspective) from Namreblis Ekim on Vimeo.
The focus of the piece is on a small village just east of St. Louis known as Sauget. Years ago this tiny area was incorporated as Monsanto.

Agent Orange, a dioxin riddled chemical used as a defoliant in the Vietna
After 9-11 the NRC said that nuclear plants had to be able stand a 747 jetline crash. OK, so engineers at Westinghouse & GE designed a nuclear plant strong enough to stand a jetliner crash.

But since Janette Sadik-Khan was named commissioner of New York City's DOT back in 2007, she's been all those things, and so have her policies. Working within the framework of Mayor Michael Bloomberg's PlaNYC 2030 initiative, which sets ambitious goals for the greening of America's biggest city, Sadik-Khan has undertaken a number of kickass initiatives to reconfigure the streets of New York -- giving primacy to people over automobiles for the first time since Robert Moses started running freeway

Energy Secretary Chu at COP-16: Building a Sustainable Energy Future
Maxed out and on the edge. These boats are one of best examples of human technology, design, and craftmanship. San Francisco wants to host the next America's Cup.
Our Mix panelists, filmmaker Bjorn Lomborg, actress Gloria Reuben and Daniel Weiss, senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, debate whether Lomborg's new film, “Cool It!” is proposes appropriate solutions for climate change.
