President Trump just signed paperwork to reopen negotiations for the Dakota Access Pipeline. After former President Obama signed against the pipeline to run under the Missouri River in 2016, Trump just reversed that decision.

With this issue, it could have been from an outside attacker, or
Tesla Motors Expands Electric Car Charging Stations in Europe, Asia and the United States

Solar Power Panels Increase Production in Areas with More Snowfall
The U.S. Department of Energy recently reviewed the impacts that snow caused on solar power panels. They found out that in light snow conditions, the snow helped generate more power overall. In contrast, they also found that heavy snowfall currently created a problem for the panels. CleanTechnica reported in 2012 that snowy conditions can increase productivity with solar power panels. It does seem that the reflection of the snow would aid to the amount of solar (photovoltaic) cells available for the panels to collect. As technology continues to advance, the materials and methods that the panels are used will soon capture the
The Impact of Climate Change in Australia and the South Pacific Islands
A number of environmental issues continue to grow in Australia, as well as the South Pacific Islands. Larger countries, such as the United States and Australia produce a much larger carbon footprint, adding to the sea levels rising around coastal areas. The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration reported: 'Global sea level has been rising over the past century, and the rate has increased in recent decades. In 2014, global sea level was 2.6 inches above the 1993 average—the highest annual average in the satellite record (1993-present). Sea level continues to rise at a rate of about one-eighth of an inch per
Denver Zoo Lights Connects with the Washed Ashore Art Exhibit
Denver Zoo is currently holding holiday events that showcase different elements of the park after dark. The park was opened on Christmas, and a group of friends wanted to check out zoo.

With the next administration blindly moving forward with staffing that have spoke out against climate change; it is even more important that Sundance provides an international stage to give filmmakers the opportunity to share
Google Taps Artificial Intelligence to Aid with Renewable Energy
Google continues to expand their presence in the renewable energy sector with a recent announcement of going to 100% renewable energy by 2017. Amazon and Google are both making major progress within clean energy development. In Google's case, they are using DeepMind, a United Kingdom form of technology, that uses artificial intelligence to solve problems. The Guardian reported: “We are convinced this is good for business, this is not about greenwashing. This is about locking in prices for us in the long term. Increasingly, renewable energy is the lowest cost option,” said Marc Oman, EU energy lead at Google.
The Donald Trump Transition Takes Steps in the Right Direction
The Donald Trump transition continues to reshape the political structure of the United States. He has made suggestions for a tax plan that would put a 35% tax on businesses that hire staff outside of the country for lower wages. I strongly back raising taxes on everyone to help get our country out of debt. Another strong suggestion for the Donald Trump transition team is to raise taxes early in his presidency, and turn the tables on the mainstream media. Deep down, I truly believe Trump wants to help this country grow. It doesn't make any sense for him
