Coal train. Image credit: Wikipedia US coal production is at a tipping point, leaning toward more exports to Asia. It’s just as easy to load the train with the kind of coal used to make steel or activated carbon as with the sort used to generate electricity – and Chinese demand is on the increase for both. Counting on US coal port facility development, the USA is poised to satisfy that growing demand in parallel with an ant… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo via antijoe The Faucher family in Deleware has an affinity for holiday lighting, or rather, an obsession. The family decorates their house with a whopping one million lights.

But by switching to LED lights, they could save the majority of that money. … Read the full story on TreeHugger
