Its meteoric rise over the past several years has been accompanied by warnings from national security officials and lawmakers that China’s communist government could gain access to its vast trove of data and use that information to spy…
Have you ever felt the need to use two different phone numbers for various business or, well, personal reasons?

Hydropower is one of the world’s largest sources of renewable electricity.But last year, weather conditions caused hydropower to fall short in a major way, with generation dropping by a record amount.

Between year-to-year weather variability and climate change, there could be rocky times ahead for hydropower. Here’s what we can expect from the…
