| Replacing coal with gas or renewables saves billions of gallons of water
|
 The transition from coal to natural gas in the US electricity sector is reducing the industry's water use, Duke University research finds. For every megawatt of electricity produced using natural gas instead of coal, the water withdrawn from rivers and groundwater drops by 10,500 gallons, and water consumed for cooling and other plant operations and not returned to the environment drops by 260 gallons. Switching to solar or wind power could boost these savings even more.

| Oncometabolites in renal cancer
|
| Nature Reviews Nephrology, Published online: 21 October 2019; doi:10.1038/s41581-019-0210-z Oncometabolites — conventional metabolites that, when aberrantly accumulated, have pro-oncogenic capabilities — have been implicated in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Here, the authors review the role of oncometabolites in RCC, their origins and downstream effects and their potential applications as novel therapeutic targets and biomarkers.
