ABOUT THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM (http://thenaturalhistorymuseum.org/about/)
Launched in September, 2014, The Natural History Museum is a mobile and pop-up museum that offers exhibitions, expeditions, educational workshops, and public programming. Unlike traditional natural history museums, it makes a point to include and highlight the socio-political forces that shape nature.
The museum’s programs appear within established art, science and natural history museums, in its 15-passenger mobile museum bus, and online at http://thenaturalhistorymuseum.org. The Natural History Museum is a member of the American Alliance of Museums and the Association of Science and Technology Centers. The museum is a project of Not An Alternative, a collective of artists, scientists, historians, theorists, and activists.

However, this […]
Currently there are more than 50,000 operating wind turbines across the entire U.S. Their performances varies based on the design, weather conditions, and geographic locations. Studying the capacity for each wind turbine individually is cumbersome and unable to scale with the rapid growth in wind energy deployment. We propose a solution that group the wind […]
The rooftop solar industry in the US has experienced dramatic growth, roughly 50% per year since 2012 along with steadily falling prices. One study at NREL estimates the national rooftop solar potential to be 1,432 TWh of annual energy generation, which equates to 39% of total national electric-sector sales. Despite this vast potential, last year […]
