Climate change increases power outage risks, but local clean energy can help

In recent years, climate-driven weather events have extended fire risk and power outages deep into winter, leaving millions of Californians without power for multiple days.
Tired Of The Same Thanksgiving Turkey? Take A Page From The Senator
you’re tired of the same old Thanksgiving turkey recipe, here's a new twist. It has its roots in India and comes from, of all people, Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.). Bennet, who was born in India, lived there as an infant and found the recipe in a cookbook called "Madhur Jaffrey’s Indian Cooking". The recipe calls for chicken -- listed in the cookbook as "whole chicken baked in aluminum foil" or "Murgh Musallam" -- and was originally the senator's culinary standard for New Year's Eve.

Even so, he had to bridge the gaps between the Bernie Sanders wing of the party and the few moderates who attended the party. Only one of the Republican neighbors chose to attend.

The Cancer Show: Part I
For years, cancer was a shameful secret. Now, a huge number of us are “living cancer” – whether we’re being treated ourselves, or helping a family member or friend. Over the last 2,500 years, cancer has shifted from a disease in the shadows to one at the center of scientific research and public discussion. In the first of two special episodes, On the Media dives deep into the way we talk about cancer: in the news, in the hospital, and in our private lives.
North Dakota’s Economic Growth Tops The Charts
It's not just the oil that's booming in North Dakota. According to a new report by the U.S. Department of Commerce, in 2013 the state's economy as a whole experienced the highest growth rate of any state last year. Gross domestic product (GDP) in North Dakota has grown for the fourth consecutive year, posting a 34 percent jump from GDP in 2010. GDP represents the total market value of goods and services produced in country, or in this case, a state.

A recent report by the Associated Press goes behind the curtain of the natural gas and petroleum surge to look at what they call the "rare jobs bonanza" for teams of archeologists and engineers who have to clear the land before the drilling rigs come in: Much of the land being drilled in North Dakota is federal land where an archaeological survey is required.
State Department Admits Mistakes In Early Analysis of Keystone XL Pipeline
The State Department largely underestimated the number of physical injuries and deaths possible if a Keystone XL pipeline proposal is rejected by the Obama administration. The Keystone XL is an extension of the Keystone Pipeline, an underground system that delivers crude oil from Canada to the United States. The extension would extend from Alberta, Alta., to Steele City, Neb. The original report (pdf), issued in January, examined the overall environmental impact of the Keystone XL proposal.
Coloradans reflect on how Nelson Mandela influenced their lives
"For me, Mandela was a symbolic hero, a moral conscience of the world," Webb said. "Everyone identified with his commitment to freedom and justice, regardless to what country or what nation they were from." Just this week, Webb says he bought his grandchildren a book about Mandela. He did it, in part, to calm his fears that younger generations will never learn about or appreciate the former prisoner-turned-president's fight for freedom.
PIN drives Colorado Public Radio debate coverage
I’d like to flag a big part of our debate coverage yesterday that made us all really proud at Colorado Public Radio. Through PIN, we assembled a politically diverse group of six voters — after sifting through well over 100 responses to these three queries – and invited them to our studios for a special debate-watch dinner party and taping. They came two by two: Two Democrats, two Republicans and two undecided/unaffiliated voters.
