Today’s productivity summit will ask how to clear the backlog of 30,000 environmental approvals holding up construction. The result is embedded into the question—houses must rise,
In 2009, NASA launched the Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO), a satellite designed to take precise measurements of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to help guide the response to climate change. Unfortunately, the satellite did not make it into its planned orbit.
