AMHERST, Mass. – Wind energy experts, in a study by researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory along with Erin Baker of the University of Massachusetts Amherst, predict significant reductions in the cost of wind energy by 2050, according to new research published today in the journal Nature Energy.

AMHERST, Mass. – Last month saw the average concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) climb to almost 418 parts-per-million, a level not seen on Earth for millions of years. In order to get a sense of what our future may hold, scientists have been looking to the deep past. Now, new research from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, which combines climate, ice sheet and vegetation model simulations with a suite of different climatic and geologic scenarios, opens the clearest window yet into the deep history of the Antarctic ice sheet and what our planetary future might hold.

Andrew Marshall was 16 seconds into a cover of his idol John Mayer’s “Gravity” when Nick Jonas slapped a red buzzer and flipped around to watch Marshall, assuring the 21-year-old River Hawk’s place as a contestant on “The Voice.”
