And most importantly, it’s competitive. Today, the cost of wind energy is lower than nuclear. Lower than gas. In some cases even lower than coal. And that’s before we add the costs of pollution.

  • Venus Williams Bio 2016-8-17
    Venus Williams On October 31, 1994, a 14-year-old girl, with her hair styled in beads and full of confidence, strode onto the court at Bank of the West Classic in California and transformed tennis. Today, Venus Williams is one of the most accomplished women in the history of the sport. Having been called "the best athlete in the history of women's tennis" by Sports Illustrated, Venus has been ranked number one in the world in singles three times in her career, and has captured seven Grand Slam titles, five Wimbledon championships and five Olympic medals -- and counting. Along the way, Venus has also distinguished herself as a student who has pursued higher education, an entrepreneur who has launched and helms two businesses, a designer who creates fashion and interior designs, an investor whose ventures include becoming with her sister the first African-American women to buy shares of an NFL team, an author who has written a best-selling book, and an advocate for gender and pay equality. The most amazing part is that Venus Williams is just getting started. Venus’ Early Years: Family Values Venus Ebony Starr Williams was born in the Watts area of Los Angeles, California, into a tight-knit family helmed by her parents, Richard Williams and Oracene Price. Born on June 17, 1980, Venus was the fourth of Richard and Oracene’s five daughters. Her birth was followed fifteen months later by the arrival of her youngest sister, Serena. From a young age, Venus’ father, Richard, who himself was self-taught in the sport, began training his daughters on the public tennis courts in Compton, California.
