Several monumental measures were passed in last week's U.S. election.

Dr. David Jenkins is the man who came up with the glycemic index. His own diet may surprise you.

Inspired by theater set design, this versatile volume holds storage and other hidden furniture.

Finally, Net Zero done right.

It is hard keeping up with the latest ideas in green building, but things are changing fast.

If all Americans adopted this (almost) waterless method of cooking pasta, we'd save billions of gallons of water.

We all know that America and the world are getting fatter, but I didn't know that they are even now making special toilets to deal with the problem. In fact it is, um, an expanding market; The Zurn Bariatric wall hung flush

A new study shows that children bear 88 percent of the burden of diseases linked to climate change.

After decades of increasingly complicated insomnia fixes, this one little thing changed everything.

When I stumbled across some of da Vinci's favorite vegetarian recipes, I knew I had to try them. Here's how it went...

"It was cool to be in the right place at the right time," says Dr. Sciascia.

Perhaps AVs should have their own lower speed limits until they figure this all out.

On National Walking Day, a look at how putting cars first kills people who walk and drive.

It may be decades before AVs are good enough, so in the meantime everyone will have to keep out of their way.

An ethanol production mandate could be in conflict with efforts to reduce the Gulf Coast dead zone.

There is an election coming up and the farm vote matters.

The skin of MVRDV's new Milestone office building is very busy.

Western Michigan University is installing solar-powered electric car charging. But it has to chop down nine trees to do it.

This could turn 5-7 billion square meters of glass in the USA alone into solar power plants, plus power your cell phone and other gadgets

This will mark a significant scaling of electrified transportation—including trucks and buses too.

SMUD demonstrate that all-electric living is actually cheaper than gas.

And why not?

Starting in 1936 they wired the entire country, the houses, the tools and the farms, changing America. It is time to think big and do it again.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't still be trying to electrify everything.

The tech giant has hit this major renewable energy goal ahead of all its competitors.

The city wants to become a leader in electric transportation, part of a plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions by a third.

Electric bikes are the great leveller; a lot more people will be doing this.

Well, that happened fast.

The rollout starts in Seattle, then more broadly.

Why doesn't form follow function?

Now, if only we could get US drivers out of their trucks.

And will gas cars suffer as a result?

Lloyd Alter would be so proud.

Let's hope they play nicely with government-funded cargo bikes.

Now how about some incentives to get people out of cars?

Price is no longer the main obstacle. Lack of understanding might be.

British scientists do the math and find that we come up short for cobalt, lithium and copper.

As prices drop and range increases, more and more people are going electric.

You already own the solutions. They are called feet.

In a word, no. Ford can sell this fiction, but it is all about friction.

Or, once again, why electric cars [on their own] won't save us.

BRB introduces a bunch of concept vehicles that look like a lot of fun without fossil fuels

Images: Black & Decker Here in the southeast, my front lawn is already starting to perk up in response to intimations of spring. Those handsome green blades of fescue are yawning, stretching, and preparing to greet the season with exuberant,

From heat pumps to induction, it has never been easier to give up gas.

Thanks to an exception for "electric or non-fossil-fuel-burning vehicles". Maybe all other states could do that so that other EV makers don't have to face what Tesla is facing?

And we thought it was all about symbolism...

Yet another reason why deforestation is bad: So much of Haiti's mountainsides have been eroded away because of deforestation and hurricanes that it may have stressed Earth's crust, triggering the earthquake that
