Caution: Some Over-the-Counter Medicines May Affect Your Driving
10/07/2014 11:00 AM EDT
Anyone who operates a vehicle of any type—car, bus, train, plane, or boat—needs to know there are over-the-counter medicines that can make you drowsy and can affect your ability to drive and operate machinery safely.Over-the-counter medicines are also known as OTC or nonprescription medicines. All these terms mean the same thing: medicines that you can buy without a prescription from a healthcare professional. Each OTC medicine has a Drug Facts label to guide you in your choices and to help keep you safe. OTC medicines are serious medicines and their risks can increase if you don’t choose them carefully and use them exactly as directed on the label.

We call this vision Solutionary Rail.
Mr. Warren Buffett: End BNSF railroad’s dependence on hauling and burning fossil fuels. Partner with Gov. Inslee to electrify, increase track speeds, and run your trains on 100% renewable energy from Seattle to Chicago.

Don’t let the EPA underestimate clean energy
The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) proposed rule to reduce global warming emissions from power plants is our best opportunity to address climate change—but it’s not strong enough. The agency is not sufficiently accounting for the rapid expansion of solar, wind, and other renewable energy. New UCS analysis is helping state decision makers and the EPA understand that this technology is expanding rapidly and is increasingly affordable across the country. Help us ensure carbon-free energy plays a critical role in reducing our country’s global warming emissions. —Karla

Solar power as cheap as local electricity?
UCS’s recent analysis shows that solar power is as cheap as the grid power in 10 states and will be in more than half of states within 1-3 years! Our analysis is already helping to beat back misinformation and build support for solar projects across the country. UCS experts exposed the errors in a recent Economist piece and our staff have been busy using the report to help demonstrate the environmental and public health benefits of solar power to communities considering large solar projects.

Laura’s blog >> “It would be a lot easier to transition to renewable energy if we had better storage technology. Is there any energy storage technology on the horizon that is likely to succeed?”—H. Bryant, Dandridge, TN.
There are many types of storage technologies in use today—rechargeable batteries, compressed air stored in underground caverns, heat stored in water or molten salts—and most of these technologies can respond within seconds to meet electricity demands. But it’s also important to keep in mind that there are several viable strategies besides storage that can make the electric grid more flexible and enable it to handle more renewable energy. READ MORE
