Domestic drilling, a new way of providing solar energy, and the relationship between universities and corporations are examined in today's articles.
1. "CBO Report: Boosting Oil Production Won’t Protect Americans From Gasoline Price Shocks"
A report by the Congressional Budget Office shows that increasing domestic oil production does not decrease gas prices here in the U.S. If this is the case, why then would we push for domestic drilling like the Keystone Pipeline considering its severe consequences for the environment?
2. "How Your College Is Selling Out to Big Ag"
Some major agricultural research universities see a major amount of their funding come from corporate agribusinesses. Is this a good thing, providing money for research? Or is it compromising the integrity of the schools and researchers?
3. "Solar Installers Offer Deals, Gaining Converts"
