Careers in Wind Energy
In the wind industry, welders work on many diverse components; for example, they weld together cylinders of rolled steel to form turbine tower segments. Although BLS data are not yet available, growth in the wind energy industry is evidenced by the rapid increase in wind-generating capacity over the past several years

Collectively, weather satellites flown by the U.S., Europe, India, China, Russia, and Japan provide nearly continuous observations for a global weather watch. For example, the 2002 oil spill off the northwest coast of Spain was watched carefully by the European ENVISAT, which, though not a weather satellite, flies an instrument (ASAR) which can see changes in the sea surface

hydroelectric energy - National Geographic Education
renewable energy Noun energy obtained from sources that are virtually inexhaustible and replenish naturally over small time scales relative to the human life span. The Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River, the Shasta Dam on the Sacramento River, and the Hoover Dam on the Colorado River are some dams constructed as part of the New Deal.The most famous hydroelectric power project of the New Deal is probably the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA)
The National Map: Small Scale
Although the 1997-2014 Edition of the National Atlas of the United States was retired in September 2014, The National Map recognizes the importance of continuing to make a collection of the small-scale datasets, originally developed for the National Atlas, available to users. The National Map Small-Scale website also link to Global Map, an international effort by national mapping organizations to produce consistent and accurate mapping data of the world at a scale of 1:1,000,000
