If our politicians, judges and regulators cannot end their obsession with climate change nightmares, renewable energy fantasies and other nitpicking topics – and our nation is plunged into widespread, prolonged and deadly...

The research, published today in Astrophysical Journal Letters, looked at evidence of how flares heat solar plasma to greater than 10 million degrees.

A team of scientists from Purdue University say they may have discovered a new method to predict solar flares more than a day before they occur. This would not only provide advance warning to help protect satellites and power...
