...store that energy in a car. Gasoline easily solves the latter problem because it is so easy to transport compared to, say, a lighter-than-air gas like hydrogen. Hydrogen, which is at best a troublesome way to store energy, is being touted as an energy source when the actual source of hydrogen is a fossil fuel. In the end, hydrogen is just a convenient way for handling the energy originally stored in natural gas—except that, given current technology and infrastructure, it’s not so convenient...

Thus far, without really presenting any actual intellectual grist for such a discussion, all he seems to have succeeded in doing is provide an excuse for people who want to hurt someone in the name of Allah.

As the basis for their own survey, the principal investigators looked at previous surveys, including the Mellon Foundation’s deacde-old study, “College and Beyond,” long considered a seminal work. College and Beyond targeted 34 selective colleges, but Harvard did not take...
