Nuclear power can provide clean and reliable energy with almost no heat-trapping air pollution, but scientists are trying to further develop nuclear power to limit nuclear waste and the potential for rare but catastrophic meltdowns.

A 2021 study estimated that invasive species cost North America over $26 billion per year since 2010. Once an invasive species is introduced to an area, they spread quickly because there’s no natural predator, so it falls on humans to control the spread.

Studies show that two out of every three Americans are in favor of more nuclear power plants — but are they ready to have them in their own backyards?

While hurricanes, floods, and tornados are terrifying, extreme heat kills more Americans on average than any other extreme weather event. That’s why it’s crucial to keep cool during blistering hot days.

In states and cities across the country, governments are encouraging — and sometimes even paying — fishermen and hunters to go after certain invasive species that wreak havoc on local ecosystems.

In the short term, burying nuclear waste is considered safe — but concerns about the long-term risks could make some people worried about having it near their homes.
