Energy’s Hidden Costs
The energy we use comes with a hidden price tag beyond the cost of the fuel. It's in the billions of dollars, according to a new study by the National Academy of Sciences National Research Council. NAS study panelist Dan Greenbaum breaks down the hidden costs related to continuing air pollution from power plants, vehicular traffic, and home heating.
Every year, it's a weekend of emotional ambiguity marking two medical anniversaries with totally different outcomes.
More recently, a life saving surgery. In the distance, a reminder that one of the few potentially life saving amateur tools in which the public is trained fails 9 of 10 times.
