  • Power From The Big Ol' Blue: Marine Hydrokinetic Technology Slowly Overcomes Challenges

    The world's hydroeletric dams have demonstrated the awesome power of water pressure. Today's up-and-coming water-based energy technologies rely on forces from the coastal tides to feed the grid. A growing number of coastal areas are installing tidal and wave technology due to the incredible electricity-generating potential of undersea and seawall turbines. There are significant benefits in tide-based energy harvesting, and many of its biggest challenges are slowly being overcome with collaboration and innovation.

  • 3 Surprising Places Lead Exists

    The dangers of lead products has been stated over and over in the past. Excessive exposure to lead can cause serious health risks. This product is loaded with toxins that can poison the body.
