America’s Grid Is More Fragile Than Politicians Admit. Here’s How to Fix It.

America has an infrastructure problem hiding in plain sight. Too often, when a storm rolls through, millions of homes  dark. Politicians hold press conferences, utility companies apologize, and nothing fundamentally changes. The U.S. power grid is not a modern system under routine stress. It is an aging, fragile patchwork operating well past its design life, and the consequences are landing squarely on ordinary Americans and the natural environment around them.

Rice University Researchers Discover Breakthrough PFAS-destroying Technology

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)–also known as “forever chemicals”– are a large group of synthetic chemicals that are abundant in the environment. While researchers have not identified the full extent of PFAS’s effects on the environment and human health, some studies have associated PFAS exposure with a range of adverse health outcomes in humans, including cancer, birth defects, infertility, immune system dysfunction, and cardiovascular disease. First commercially introduced in the 1940s due to their water-, stain-, and grease-resistant properties, they are commonly found in clothing, non-stick cookware, and other everyday household items. Because they persist for long periods in the environment, PFAS have been found in drinking water across the country.
