Princeton University's Marcus Hultmark, associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, and Elie Bou-Zeid, professor of civil and environmental engineering and director of the Program in Environmental Engineering and Water Resources, comment on the history and future of the U.S. wind industry.
Princeton University researchers have found a way to zero-in on how dangerously hot the Earth’s tropical zones could become under climate change by looking at the atmospheric dynamics that control the region’s heat and humidity, according to a recent paper in Nature Geoscience.

When Luca Kuziel discovered the community of ecologists at Princeton, he had no idea that his experience of radical acceptance with them would change the course of his research and his life.
Over the past four years, he has deepened his love of the natural world and gone through his own metamorphosis, coming out as transgender during his second summer at Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique. But when he tried to go back for a third summer, to gather data for his senior thesis, he was stymied by COVID-19 travel restrictions.
Yves here. While this article has a lot to recommend it, I have to voice some reservations. The first is that it jumps on the “Biden as FDR” bandwagon, which Lambert debunked yesterday. The second is the New Deal brand expropriation by Green New Deal advocates.
As we’ve stressed repeatedly, the Green New Deal proponents will not acknowledge, let alone promote, far and aways the most important and urgent measures we can take to combat climate change: radical conservation. They aren’t even pushing for some of the measures implemented during the Oil Crisis to discourage fossil fuel use, like setting summer thermometers at 77 degrees to reduce air conditioning use, every other day access to gas stations, and encouraging commuter ride-sharing. These may seem merely symbolic to the level of the challenge, but they send a strong psychological message of needing to change our daily habits to reduce greenhouse gas use. And perhaps most important, if citizens en masse are encouraged o
