Postal Service Takes Lead In Going Green   7/23/2008 2:30 PM
Where do you look among federal agencies for smart thinking about renewable energy and alternative fuels? The U.S. Postal Service! Every extra penny in gas prices means $8 million for them. That brings a keen motivation to innovate — and go green.
GM Works With Utilities On Plug-Ins   7/22/2008 2:44 PM
General Motors is working with utility companies to make sure its next-generation plug-in hybrid has a smooth rollout in 2010. GM is pushing utilities to move forward on so-called "smart-metering."
Connecting With Wrens (With Help From An IPod)   7/21/2008 2:29 PM
Carolina wrens — small cinnamon-brown birds that choose to live around outbuildings — will hide their nests almost anywhere: a discarded boot, a bucket turned on its side. With a little innovation, it is possible to make a connection with wrens.
Fighting Wildfires: Who Should Pay?   7/21/2008 11:00 AM
California is in the midst of a long, hot summer of wildfires. Nationally, costs to fight wildfires now take nearly half of the U.S. Forest Service budget. That's up from just 13 percent in 1991. The ever-rising costs have spurred a debate in California over who should pay: all new home buyers or only those who choose to build and live in fire-prone areas?
Mass Transit May Return To Detroit   7/21/2008 11:00 AM
When you think of Detroit, you think of cars — not trains or buses. Fifty years after Detroit's last streetcar went out of service, there's talk of bringing mass transit back. After years of false starts, this time, Motor City business leaders are on board.
Making Cities More Walkable   7/21/2008 11:00 AM
While gas-thirsty cars are languishing in the garage, people are hopping on buses, riding bikes, and reverting to the most time-tested form of transportation: their feet. Alex Chadwick talks to Christopher Leinberger, visiting fellow at the Brookings Institution, about why urban planners are paying more attention to cities' "walkability."
Cutting Energy Costs: Little Consensus In Congress   7/21/2008 8:44 AM
Congress members say they're determined to do something about fuel prices before leaving for their August recess. But there's little consensus on energy issues. Will Democrats and Republicans be able to agree on any proposals to lower fuel prices?
Sounds From The Wild: Guatemala's Rainforest   7/21/2008 7:46 AM
In a Guatemalan rainforest, the huff of a rare mammal known as a coatimundi lurks under a toucan's call.
Wild Horses May Face Death Sentence   7/21/2008 7:33 AM
With the price of hay up and adoptions down, the government may begin euthanizing wild horses. There are currently about 30,000 of them in federal holding centers; a number wild horse advocates blame on careless management.
Beijing Limits Traffic To Cut Smog Ahead Of Games   7/21/2008 6:17 AM
