Then we started seeing cars over 30 miles a gallon. You have hybrids that can get 50 miles a gallon. But most cars cannot. To get to that point, it takes a lot of advanced technology; a lot of advanced materials. So when you say they have five years to do it, well that may be, but in five years, to do that is going to absolutely require a lot of electrification, plug in hybrids and battery electric cars and so on.

It’s the same issue electric cars had in the 90s. They’ve come a long way since then. And now we have plug-in hybrids that give you some battery range. We have battery electric cars that can give you 80 or 110 miles. The Chevy Bolt EV can give you 238 miles. Those are all good moves. But cars—electric cars—are more expensive than conventional cars.

Some may, if they’re only commuting 20 miles—it’s perfect for them. But for so many others, they don’t want to have a car so limited, which is again why plug-in hybrids are so important. You drive maybe 15, 30 miles on electric power and then you’re driving a hybrid after that with no limit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Watt: Is it possible that vehicles could become cleaner without these regulations?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cogan: We have always said that even though we understand the automakers and they have to make a profit, I still feel you have to keep automakers’ feet to the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the absence of that, research and development will slow in that area.

Inmarsat is a SpaceX customer, and Franci says if launch costs come down, companies like his could launch more satellites, more often, and build a better network.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he says that to really bring prices down, SpaceX will have to recycle each rocket more than just once.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The question is how many times they can reuse each individual rocket, and how often they can do it,\" he says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

In recent years, large sections of national forestland in the state have been charred by massive wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re one of the very largest land owners in California,” said Susie Kocher, a natural resources adviser and registered professional forester for the University of California’s Cooperative Extension in the Central Sierra. “What they do has always been really important to local communities and the state economy as a whole.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s budget makes no cuts to the department’s funds for wildland fire preparedness and firefighting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kocher said she hopes Perdue makes reforms to federal forest management including tree thinning and prescribed burns “to keep our forests more resilient and healthy so they can withstand wildfire and drought.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the years-long dry spell, more than a 100 million trees died across California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re really dealing with a crisis in forest health,” Kocher said.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
