The United States Senate has rejected a motion that would have allowed for drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) which is located in Alaska.
Not drilling for oil in ANWR has made the Sierra Club and the World Wildlife Fund happy.

No Need for Headphones on Planes
Imagine having speakers the size of a plane!
A safer way to fly has been found and it involves turning the wings of an aircraft into giant speakers, truly a sound idea. The vibrations caused by the speakers allows air to basically cling to the wing’s surface meaning a more efficient and safe flight.
I hope that the pilots get to pick what plays through the wings, I would like to hear Jefferson Airplane or perhaps Kraftwerk.
