...simply be lost. But if millions of electric cars were plugged into the grid, they could act as mini-batteries, storing renewable electricity as it's generated - and eventually even channeling electricity back into grid during cloudy or windless days, a system called vehicle-to-grid. "If you have control over renewable power resources and plug-ins, you can start to synchronize the two," says John Clark, CEO of V2Green, a Seattle start-up that is looking to integrate the grid and plug-in vehicles, and which has already begun field trials with utilities in Austin, Texas. "To utilities, electric...
...other reason for the weight-loss disparity, Campos says, may have something to do with the medications that diabetes patients take to control blood sugar. "One of the known factors for why diabetics have trouble controlling their weight is the types of medications they take," says Campos. "Diabetes is a consequence of being overweight, but [another complication] is having to take medications that add to weight gain. It's a double-edged sword, and a vicious cycle." The solution, he points out, may be to rely on newer anti-diabetes drugs, such as the DPP-IV inhibitors (like Januvia...
...data - records on pollen counts rarely go back more than 20 years - certainly would indicate that warming will only make things worse. So, what can be done to help millions of sneezing, watery-eyed patients? As allergy sufferers already know, not a whole lot. But any action taken to control rising CO2 levels might at least help stem the increase in global allergy rates. So far, the global asthma epidemic shows no signs of abating, and in a warmer world, effective treatments for allergies will likely become even more important. One option for allergy suffers might be to start agitating...
...does not prove that BPA can cause these ills, but merely indicates that these disorders seem to occur more often in people with higher levels of the disease. To prove a cause-effect relation would require longitudinal studies that compare the effects of BPA in one group to a control group unexposed to the chemical - hard to do, given BPA's ubiquity. But the JAMA study is worrying enough. "The article says that the more of this chemical you have, the greater the risk," says vom Saal. "We understand how BPA causes these problems in animals, and the human study...
...funded. McCain has even argued that water pork contributed to the catastrophe of Hurricane Katrina, another argument I have made. But that fealty to principle has required him to vote against funding for the Everglades and new levees for New Orleans, as well as a ridiculous Mississippi flood-control project he's been trying to kill for years. He was right to do so, but Barack Obama's campaign pounded him for his Everglades votes when he visited the River of Grass this spring. And not too many voters noticed his admirable stand against the Mississippi project outside Mississippi, where...
