Cleaning Up the Cloud | We imagine all our music, apps and photos stored somewhere "out there" - in the sky, perhaps. In truth, data lives in data centers that run on electricity. There's a fight going on between Greenpeace and Apple over the energy source behind Apple's iCloud. | 5/23/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Clear Lake Provides Clues to Future Climate | Scientists are searching for answers about climate change in California from the bottom of the state’s oldest lake. | 5/4/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Regulators Question Natural Gas Power Plants | It may seem incongruous that as California continues its full-court press toward renewable energy, natural gas power plants are still being built around the state. That's prompting some, including state utility regulators to ask why. | 4/30/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Sorry State of the Salton Sea | The Salton Sea is in trouble, a victim of Southern California's endless quest for water. Recent deals to transfer water to cities could be the demise of the Salton Sea, and a threat to the health of those who live nearby. | 4/9/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

A Preview of California's Changing Coastline? | Some coastal Southlanders live with moving earth almost on a daily basis -- a problem likely to be compounded by the rising seas and more extreme weather of a changing climate. The Palos Verdes Peninsula may provide a preview of things to come. | 4/2/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Drought Looms for Central Valley Farmers | Snow has returned to the Sierra, but probably not enough to dramatically change expectations for the mountain snowpack. Farmers are bracing for a growing season challenged by drought. | 2/28/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Complex Process of Reducing Carbon Intensity | California's Carbon Fuel Standard calls for a 10 percent reduction in the average "carbon intensity" of fuels by the end of the decade. But ethanol producers are challenging the regulation in court. | 2/3/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

8 |
Saving Energy by Keeping Up With the Joneses | There’s no shortage of advice out there for consumers who want to shrink their home energy footprint. Much of it never gets put into use. Some of the state's biggest utilities are trying a new strategy known as "energy envy." | 1/30/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
