The utility industry, in the face of deregulation, is now being forced to find and adopt innovative ways to stay competitive, says Gary MacDowell, president and CEO of NexusData. Utilities will now be forced to consider how they sell power in a way that adds value, ensuring data delivery in the proper format and delivering it in a way that best depicts a consumer's usage habits. Linking vegetation models to climate models when approximating the Earth's past and future climates may make climate predictions more accurate and may provide a better picture of the effects of global warming on the Earth, according to Penn State researchers. Glacial deposits that formed on tropical land areas during snowball Earth episodes around 600 million years ago lead to questions about how the glaciers that left the deposits were created. Now, Penn State geoscientists believe that these glaciers could only have formed after the Earth's oceans were entirely covered by thick sea ice.
