NASA Moves Ahead With Private ISS Mission After Air Leak Repairs

NASA is looking to launch Axiom Space’s fourth private mission to the International Space Station (ISS) this week, after recent attempts to repair air leaks in the Russian module appear to have been successful. Last week, the space agency abruptly postponed the launch of Axiom Mission 4, which was set to launch on June 11. NASA cited a new pressure signal in a segment of the Zvezda service module that’s been leaking air, very slowly, for nearly six years. In a follow-up statement on Saturday, N

Biofuels Policy, a Mainstay of American Agriculture, a Failure for the Climate

The American Midwest is home to some of the richest, most productive farmland in the world, enabling its transformation into a vast corn- and soy-producing machine—a conversion spurred largely by decades-long policies that support the production of biofuels. But a new report takes a big swing at the ethanol orthodoxy of American agriculture, criticizing the industry for causing economic and social imbalances across rural communities and saying that the expansion of biofuels will increase greenh

NASA Delays Private Mission to ISS as Russian Module Leak Worsens

The announcement comes just days after the National Oceanic and Atmospher

What’s driving electricity demand? It isn’t just AI and data centers.

Take the US, for example. The IEA report points to other research showing that the 10 states hosting the most data center growth saw a 10% increase in electricity demand between 2019 and 2023. Demand in the other 40 states declined by about 3% over the same period. One caveat here is that nobody knows for sure what’s going to happen with data centers in the future, particularly those needed to run AI. Projections are all over the place, and small changes could drastically alter the amount of en
