Experimental underwater windmills will be installed in New York City's East River during the next weeks to begin generating power utilizing the non-stop action of the tides. Enthusiasts of the new environmentally friendly hydropower say the machines generate electricity without the problems associated with wind power. The scenery is not dotted with turbines and engineers say the low-rpm movement from the blades does not harm marine life. Unlike hydro-electric dams, which dramatically alter spawning populations of fish, this instream technology allows fish and mammals to "easily swim around" the turbines. . . 
In an amazing discovery in Georgia, a small patch of American Chestnut trees, which were largely wiped out due to a quick-spreading fungus in the early 1900s, has been found alive, healthy, and thriving. This gives new hope to rebuilding the population of the American Chestnut tree which was, at its peak, used in houses, lightpoles, and other infrastructure. Biologists believe that they will be able to study and use these trees to breed what they hope to be stronger American Chestnut trees capable of resisting the fungus which usually destroys them. Full story — detailing biologist's joy — at 
Under intense international pressure, the Indonesian government has virtually abandoned plans to convert large areas of ancient rainforest in the "Heart of Borneo" that are a prime habitat for the endangered Orangutan. The original plan called for a massive oil palm plantation to be built on 1.8 million hectares (nearly 7,000 square miles or 18,000 sq. km) of mainly native forests along the Indonesia-Malaysia border.Good News Login
