THE POWER OF NATURE: Embedded videos on the front cover and page 1 of this issue illustrate and explain two of nature's awesome powers: wind and water energy. On the front cover: The 2014 video linked to the cover photo, taken by Redina Finch in western Illinois, comes from the U.S. Department of Energy. It highlights the basic principles at work in wind turbines, showing how the various components work to capture and convert wind energy to electricity. This updated version also includes information on the Energy Department's efforts to advance offshore wind power.
