Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Announced Dakota Access Pipeline to be Rerouted
The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe has announced today on Twitter that the Dakota Access Pipeline will not run under Lake Oahe as proposed, and the Army Corp of Engineers will be looking for additional routes to run the pipeline. For those unfamiliar with Lake Oahe, it is a large reservoir behind the Oahe Dam on the Missouri River. The Missouri River is the longest river in the Untied States. If the pipeline had gone under the lake, or if it gets close to a main river, it could still pollute drinking water. Not all pipelines malfunction, but enough of them do to create

Five New Solar Power Projects in Virginia Fueled by Amazon Web Services
Amazon, the Seattle-based technology company, steamrolls through the negativity of the past election, right through climate change, and arrives in Virgina to change the world with five new solar farms. When Amazon created two wind farms in Ohio, I was excited, but to see them work directly with the eastern seaboard is an exciting piece of progression behind the clean energy movement. This level of progression is summerized by Amazon and Business Wire: 'By supporting 260MW of solar generation capacity in Virginia, Amazonbecomes the largest corporate backer of solar projects east of the Mississippi River.'

How Climate Will Change during the Donald Trump Era
Donald Trump is currently in a state of transition after claiming the presidency during the 2016 election. "The (DEP) Department of Environmental is killing us environmentally." - Donald Trump (04/2016) That quote summarizes the amount of time and energy Trump has spent learning about different departments of the government. Or it is him playing dumb about a topic he knows about well, but doesn't want to appear knowledgeable. What he meant to say, possibly, is the (EPD) the Environmental Protection Department limits corporations to generate revenue with regulations. One of the positive elements to Trump's environment plan is his

When they report that costs for solar panels cost for solar panels have dropped 54% since 2008, I was able to find out more on those numbers with a recent report by the U.S. Department of Energy.
