It's possible April of 2019 will prove to be an historic month for renewable energy.For centuries, coal has been one of the primary sources of energy in the United States. But in recent years, energy sources such as wind, solar and hydro have been catching up.Bruce Bohannan is hoping his home will eventually be carbon neutral, which means it'd solely be powered by renewable energy. It's a process he started 10 years ago when he invested in solar panels. Bohannan’s house is not your average American house."You can see a little bit at the very top of the house, that was our first phase of solar panels," Bohannan said."I have a daughter who will outlive me into the world of the future, and I really put them on for my daughter's future... for her climate future," Bohannan added.A decade later, Bohannan is witnessing a change he had always hoped for to lower carbon emissions.In April -- for the first time in U.S. history -- forecasters say renewable energy sources generated more electricity than coal."It's an indicator of what's to come," Dennis Wamsted, an energy analyst for the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis, said.His claim is based on a short-term forecast of data for the month of April. Date from the U.S. Energy Information Administration shows renewable energy surpassing coal production. "The coal industry 10 years ago generated about 50 percent of the nation's electricity. And in the past 10 years that percentage has dropped from 50 percent to this year, EIA [Energy Information Administration] is saying about 24 percent," Wamsted said.Electricity generation can be broken into four main categories: Natural gas generates 35 percent of our electricity; coal generates 24 percent; nuclear power 20 percent; and renewable sources generate 18 percent (3 percent is other). The percentage for coal is predicted to decrease in the coming years, whereas renewable energy is expected to do the opposite. Wamsted predicts renewable energy will surpass coal for good in three years.“Coal's costs are going up, and renewable costs are going down which gives me a great deal of confidence that this transition is going to continue into the future," Wamsted said.So what happened in April that spiked renewable energy production? Wamsted says, think about the changing seasons.April is a big month for snow melt which powers hydroelectricity. In many places, there's often more wind in the springtime to power wind turbines. And solar energy increases in the spring with more direct daylight in the United States.The coal industry's production also plays a role. Many plants shut down for maintenance in the spring, since most people around the country aren't cranking up heat or the A.C.While this data signals a big milestone for renewables, it's not a total surprise. Clean energy is now cheaper than coal because technology has improved, and manufacturers are more efficient.Energy Program Director Rob Sargent with Environment America says the coal industry, on the other hand, is facing a grim future.“It's been declining steadily, and uh, coal plants are shutting down left and right. Nobody is building new ones," Sargent said.The possible end of the coal industry has many concerned for their livelihood, but there is hope for the American workforce.A report done by nonpartisan business group 'Environmental Entrepreneurs' shows nearly every U.S. state saw an increase in clean energy jobs last year. In fact, jobs involving renewable energy outnumbered fossil fuel jobs three to one, and employers expect job growth to continue. "There is no question that right now in America there are more jobs in the clean energy industry than there are in the fossil fuel industry," Sargent said.Change can be challenging, but Sargent believes the increase in clean energy positions will ease the transition into renewables as a staple provider of energy. And clean energy proponents like Bohannan are convinced the change is only for the better."Anything we can do to leave carbon in the ground is the right answer for the earth. We need to drastically stop emitting carbon if we're going to have a positive effect on our climate chances over the next 50 years," Bohannan said.The United States is not the first nation in this energy transition. Renewable energy has already surpassed coal in the United Kingdom, and the country expects coal-fired energy generation will be completely cut off by 2025. 4450

It's one small step for man, one giant leap for chile peppers.A team of scientists at NASA is working to launch the Espa?ola chile pepper into space. This would be the first fruiting plant the United States has grown and harvested at the International Space Station.As NASA looks to send astronauts to Mars, it's crucial that the agency find plants and fruits that can travel with them.According to Jacob Torres, a NASA scientist, depending on the alignment of the planets, the shortest trip to Mars would still take two years. Traditional prepackaged meals will not provide enough vitamins and nutrients for astronauts on the journey."They would be able to fill their stomachs up, but they wouldn't have the nutrients to do their work," Torres said.Before NASA embarks toward the Red Planet, scientists must find ways to supplement the astronauts' diet with freshly grown fruits and vegetables, such as the Espa?ola pepper.Why chile peppers?There are many challenges to growing crops in space. A plant must be easily pollinated and able to survive in a high-carbon-dioxide environment.Scientists found that certain chile peppers can do both these things.When Torres arrived at NASA in 2018 for an internship, scientists were exploring the possibility of growing Hatch peppers, a New Mexico chile.Torres, a native of that state, suggested that the team look at the state's Espa?ola pepper instead.Hatch peppers grow in the deserts of New Mexico, but Espa?ola peppers grow at much higher altitudes and have a shorter growth period, making them better for harvesting in space.The Espa?ola peppers have exceeded expectations, he said. NASA is preparing to send the peppers off to the International Space Station between November and January.Fighting colds in spaceNot only can chile peppers withstand extreme conditions, they are packed with vitamins. This will help astronauts battle some of the health problems they face in space, Torres said.Zero gravity causes the body's fluids to rise to the head, making astronauts feel as though they have 2056

In the border land, boxing is a way of life. Las Cruces, New Mexico and El Paso, Texas has a deep history of boxing. It’s a sport about discipline, competition and drive, and according to Rene Carrasco, life can always be a fight. “Mexicans, we love boxing,” says Rene. “It use to be nothing but a man’s sport, you know Machismo type of deal, but it’s evolved since then.”Rene's 15-year-old daughter, Arianna Carrasco, is one of the best boxers for her age. “It’s like a high kind of, with all the adrenaline,” Arianna describes. “That’s why I love it. I just get really focused about what I’m about to do when I box.” The 15-year-old boxer is a five-time national champion in boxing. According to her father, she has only been boxing for three years. “It’s unheard of for girls to come in with such little experience and go to the top right away,” Rene says. However, Arianna fights for more than glory, she fights for those living in the border land. “I have a really close connection to the Mexican-American heritage,” Arianna says. “Everything with my family, I feel proud when I get to go out and show that.” “Almost everything is a fight when you’re Hispanic,” Rene says. "My dad is born and raised in Chihuahua Mexico. He came here when he was 30-years-old. And what they’ve gone through, it just a pride when my daughter can go out there and perform the way she does. In September, when we go to Poland, that’s for a world championship. That’s the goal. It shows no matter what your background is if you work hard, it will pay off. She’s a female Hispanic, she’s not supposed be able to do what she’s doing back in the day.”Arianna says when she fights, she represents both America and the people in La Cruces. "We’re just fighting to be known. We’re fighting to show everyone that we’re here, and we’re fighting for change,” she says. 1856

Last night, DARPA launched 3 balloons from Cumberland, Maryland, in a flight test for the Adaptable Lighter Than Air prgm. Over next few days, ALTA will demonstrate capability for wind-borne navigation of a lighter-than-air vehicle over extended ranges. https://t.co/Og8dWCvszc pic.twitter.com/NjUB6Got94— DARPA (@DARPA) June 18, 2019 346

Jesse Walaschek says 15 to 20 seconds saved him and his family.The 41-year-old, his wife and three kids -- ages 8, 6 and 4 -- had just left a fitness center at a shopping mall in the South Florida city of Plantation when a possible gas explosion Saturday shattered parts of the building, injuring at least 23 people, including two with serious injuries."We felt the loudest boom that you could possibly feel. I looked in my rear view mirror and it was just a dust cloud," Walaschek told CNN. "Had we walked out of that gym 15 seconds later, I would've been getting my kids in the car when it went off. I probably wouldn't be here, my kids wouldn't be here."A search of the blast zone has been completed, police said. There were no fatalities and all the victims have been located, Plantation Fire Deputy Chief Joel Gordon told reporters during a Saturday afternoon press conference.All the injured were taken to area hospitals, he said. Among the injured was a child, but the injuries were not classified as serious, Gordon said."We're relieved that considering the debris field and considering how we found the patients and where we found them, the injuries are not as severe as we would've thought they would be. So we're very thankful for that," Gordon said.The blast appeared to have occurred in a corner of the mall complex where two buildings intersect.News footage and social media video showed firefighters arriving at the mall, where windows were blown out of an LA Fitness and the facade of a pizza restaurant appeared to be blown out. A section of the complex appeared to sustain significant damage, with shattered windows and scattered debris.'It was almost like the world was ending'Walaschek was driving said while he is thankful they made it out safely, he worried about other families at the gym."Thing that was on my mind actually was the 20 to 25 children we saw in the children's area when we left," he said.Witnesses described a chaotic scene following the explosion.Alex Carver, who works at a deli across the street from where the explosion occurred, said he and his colleagues initially thought the sound was thunder."Then we felt the building shake and things started falling. I looked outside and it was almost like the world was ending," Carver, told 2289
