Photograph: Mike McFarlane/The Wildlife Trusts Dr. Wallace J Nichols, research associate, California Academy of Sciences Most humans through most of time have made their living not by a series of carefully calculated rational decisions based on complete knowledge, but through a diverse and highly evolved mix of emotions in response to extremely limited snapshots of the world around them. In the past few decades our understanding of the science behind these emotions has increased exponentially. So too must conservationists, environmentalists, and fixers of what's broken nature. We are evolved to be at our best outside, in motion, solving problems. Is there a more important or urgent application of brain science than the restoration and safeguarding of nature? I am struck by the universality of people's love of beautiful landscapes. I see it all the time.

Japanese breakthrough will make wind power cheaper than nuclear NOTE: Some major wind projects like the proposed TWE Carbon Valley project in Wyoming are already pricing in significantly lower than coal power -- $80 per MWh for wind versus $90 per MWh for coal -- and that is without government subsidies using today's wind turbine technology. The International Clean Energy Analysis (ICEA) gateway estimates that the U.S. possesses 2.2 million km2 of high wind potential (Class 3-7 winds) — about 850,000 square miles of land that could yield high levels of wind energy. This makes the U.S. something of a Saudi Arabia for wind energy, ranked third in the world for total wind energy potential. The United States uses about 26.6 billion MWh's, so at the above rate we could satisfy a full one-third of our total annual energy needs.
