U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz takes a spin in the Toyota Mirai, the first fuel cell electric vehicle available for sale. Its name in Japanese means "future," and more than just another new car, Toyota says the 2016 Mirai is a symbolic first step toward a "Hydrogen Society" for the "next 100 years."
EPA's National Enforcement Investigations Center is an environmental forensic center. NEIC scientists work with a variety of technologies to monitor, collect data, and analyze pollutants in the environment to better understand the threat to human health and ecosystems. Advanced technologies provide tools for scientists to measure, sometimes in near real-time, pollutants emitted from both large and small sources that can adversely affect entire communities.

This Bureau of Reclamation 2014 video shows how generators in Grand Coulee Dam's Third Power Plant are undergoing a $100 million upgrade to bring the 40-year-old power house into the 21st century and ensure another 40 years of clean, renewable, low-cost hydropower for the Pacific Northwest.
This video is part of AWWA's Water Supply Operations series on disinfection byproducts. Disinfection is essential in the battle against waterborne disease; however, disinfectants also can create unwanted byproducts. These disinfection byproducts or DBPs are a concern because they can potentially cause long-term health issues. This creates a tough balancing act for utilities: protecting the public from waterborne disease while minimizing the occurrence and impact of DBPs. This video covers the types of disinfectants used in water treatment, how disinfection byproducts form, and strategies to control DBPs, including guidelines set by EPA through the Stage 1 and Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rules.
