Later today 90.1 KILI-FM, located on the Pine Ridge Reservation in Porcupine, South Dakota, will dedicate the installation of a single wind turbine which will entirely power the station through renewable energy. The turbine dedication also marks the station’s 25th anniversary as the largest Indian radio …

iguana.jpgWhen I was young I really wanted my very own iguana. My parents, in their frustrating (for me) wisdom, advised against it. I persisted. They eventually compromised, saying that I could start with a chameleon and, if I could keep it alive, I could upgrade to that King of all household reptiles. Well, I went through two chameleons and, needless to say, I never got that iguana. Years later, I can’t help but wonder that if I’d done more to make my little friends comfortable they may just have made it. Right now I could be proudly wearing those scars that signify life with an iguana.

So how could I have made life more livable for my reptiles? I realize now, with a hefty dose of remodeling under my tool belt, that there can be a world beyond the aquarium. This is especially important for large creatures like iguanas. So for you parents out there, and herpetology lovers in general, here are a few ideas to make life a little easier for your scaly-skinned pets. (more…)

Yep, another “world’s largest.” While beginning to sound eye-rolling, it’s actually pretty cool that everyone keeps one-upping each other, because that means we’re making real progress. Anyway, back to world’s largest… Oregon has given permits for setting up the Shepherd’s Flat Wind Farm, developed by Caithness Shepherds Flat LLC.

The plan is for 303 turbines to go up, generating 909 MW – a capacity that more than doubles Oregon state’s wind capacity, beats out the US’s so-far-largest wind farm in Texas, the 765 MW Horse Hollow wind farm, and makes it potentially the largest single wind farm in the world. In terms of wind farms in general, we’ll likely be hearing more “world’s largest” coming from China soon.

While the permits are out, there are no dates floating around so far for when it will be up and running. Oregon is serious about its wind power capacity, and is reviewing two more projects, one for 400 MW and one for 143 MW.
