I think it was great what Obama did but I was looking through the internet and im not sure how the American public will view it. http://www.nationaljournal.com/energy/public-to-obama-congress-climate-action-is-no-big-deal-this-year-20140128 This article talks about new polls that have come out saying that the public wanted Obama to talk more about jobs and pushing Congress with new economic agendas. I am curious to find out whether or not he will accomplish anything that he said.

The world's oceans are facing a bleak future, say marine scientists, unless we rebuild its abundance, variety and vitality. (CNN) -- As the human footprint has spread, the remaining wildernesses on our planet have retreated. However, dive just a few meters below the ocean surface and you will enter a world where humans very rarely venture.

Researchers at Stanford University have created the first peel-and-stick solar cells. These cells are flexible, can be attached to a variety of surfaces (windows, business cards, clothing), and most importantly they can be produced using conventional, industry-standard facilities and materials. Furthermore, it should be possible to use Stanford's new process to create peel-and-stick computer chips and LCD displays.
