*Coal's black cloud has a silver lining for the arid American west* *This would appear to be very shallow thinking. Water used for cooling does not vanish. Some evaporates but most of it reverts to room temperature and can be used for other purposes* The transition from coal power to natural gas and renewables in the West is picking up steam. That shift has important implications for carbon mitigation, but it also has produced an often overlooked yet suddenly significant development: the release of water previously needed for cooling coal-fired power plants for other uses.

We're Lucky
Another Canada Day has come and gone. Each anniversary should remind us that Confederation is a work in progress -- and that we still have much work to do. But, Susan Delacourt writes, on this anniversary, we should recognize that we are extraordinarily lucky -- because we are not the United States: The border between this country and the United States has never been this sharply defined, literally and politically. As many states in America are tumbling back into a resurgence of the virus, Canada and its health-care system are slowly emerging from the crisis in much better shape t... more »
Yes, the U.S. Air Force Once Tried to Build Its Own 'Flying Saucer'
*Peter Suciu* *Technology, Americas* Meet Avro Project 1794. *Key Point*: Rather than a high flying saucer, the Army’s Avrocar was little more than a slow moving hovercraft. In April the Department of Defense (DoD) formally released three U.S. Navy videos that contain “unidentified aerial phenomena,” but whether that actually means “UFO” is still a matter for debate. The videos will likely only fuel a debate on what is “out there,” but in recent years declassified documents have revealed the “truth” about some flying saucers and other seemingly otherworldly aircraft. Rather tha... more »
Why the Korean War Could End, or a Second Korean War Could Begin
*Robert Gallucci* *Security, Asia* The Korean War could come to an end formally, legally, with a peace treaty which would replace the seventy-year-old armistice, or it could end, for all practical purposes, with the end to hostile relations between North and South Korea (ROK) and between North Korea (DPRK) and the United States, with no party having any real concern that war would break out again. It could end one way and not the other, or it could end both de facto and de jure, but I do not think it will end in any sense within the next five years. Indeed, in practical terms, wha... more »
Yes, World War II Is Still Killing People (This Picture Is Proof)
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* Unexploded bombs are a lasting danger in Europe. *Key Point*: New bombs are discovered almost every year. For the most part, World War II left the U.S. and Canadian homelands physically untouched. There were a few incidents of sabotage and a few small-scale attacks, such as a Japanese submarine’s shelling of an oil refinery in southern California and balloon bombs launched from Japan that floated over the Pacific and set fires in the western United States and Canada. But there was nothing to equal the millions of tons of bombs dropped ... more »
Meet the 2S7M 'Malka': One of the Most Powerful 'Guns' on the Planet
*Peter Suciu* *Security, Europe* While described as one of the most powerful self-propelled artillery guns in the world it hasn't been widely tested in actual combat. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *"One shot of the 203mm weapon can fully destroy a building used as a stronghold." Earlier this month the press office of Rostec announced that the first deliveries of the upgraded 2S7M 'Malka' 203mm self-propelled artillery gun have been made to the Russian Army. This is the latest upgrade of the 2S7 'Pion," which was developed in the 1980s. It was designed to strike vital enem... more »
Sorry, There Is No Such Thing as a Glock 7 Gun
*Peter Suciu* *Security, * At least there is one thing that should be clear by now – the Glock 7 is just movie fiction. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Glock handguns are named neither for the year nor the caliber. For a company that has produced handguns for less than 40 years, the Austrian-based Glock has managed to dominate the pistol market – overshadowing such notable manufacturers as Colt and Smith & Wesson – each founded in the 19th century, as well as the Italian-based Beretta, which was founded in the early 16th century.

Not Just a Pretty Plane: How the Convair XF-92 Revolutionized Flight

Today we almost expect aircraft, especially those designed for extreme high speeds, to have the delta-wing design. It all began with the Convair XF-92A, a revolutionary looking aircraft that was unlike anything that had flown just a few years earlier. However, being first meant there were some issues.
