Sea Change
As climate change causes worsening storms and sea level rise, it's not just people's homes and businesses that are at risk of vanishing, but also the places that hold our past. What does it mean to keep local history alive when a place itself is disappearing?
In this episode of Sea Change from WWNO and WRKF, travel Louisiana's coast to meet people working to prevent histories from being lost. Listen now.
Short Wave
In pockets across the U.S., communities are struggling with polluted air, often in neighborhoods where working-class people and people of color live. Residents often know the air is polluted, but they don't always have the data to address it.
In this episode, NPR's Short Wave reports on how a new NASA satellite could empower one Maryland neighborhood where residents have been fighting for clean air for decades.
Bay Curious
California is aiming to be powered 100% by clean energy by 2045. But there's still a long way to go. With hundreds of miles of coastline, could the state turn to the ocean as a potential source of power? KQED's Bay Curious examines past and present attempts to harness the power of waves and whether this technology may finally be about to crest.
Listen now.
Parched
What if people living in drought-stricken Colorado River states could get more water, instead of just living with less? The idea of pulling water from another river, like the Mississippi, has tantalized people in the Southwest for decades.
Colorado Public Radio's Parched investigates what it would take to make the concept a reality. Start listening.
Seeking a Scientist
In 2021, Texas and wide swaths of North America were shut down by Winter Storm Uri, which caused massive blackouts and left millions of people without power for days. The storms underscored the pressing need for a more reliable energy system. Is a recent breakthrough in nuclear fusion a possible path forward?
