The project is part of the NAACP’s Power Up program, which aims to reduce the energy burden on Black, Brown, and lower-income communities.

Renewable energy advocates and some lawmakers say Hoosiers need better access to solar power to have energy independence.

While our understanding of things like epilepsy, the stars, and the shape of the Earth has changed dramatically over the centuries, ancient cultures confronted the same universe as we do. Even though their ideas about that universe are often very different from ours, there are also countless insights hidden in scientific writings from over 2,000 years ago.
