...keep power plants sustainable by "resting" boreholes to give the source time to replenish its heat. While the ongoing costs of a geothermal power plant are low - Krafla, for example, has only 15 full-time employees - the start-up technology needed to extract heat from a few miles beneath the earth's surface and convert it to electricity is not cheap. By some estimates, conducting the necessary geologic surveys and exploratory drilling for one plant can take up to eight years and $20 million before the turbines start turning. "The high cost is a barrier to everybody," says Karl Gawell...
...this recession deepens - and the economic pain spreads far and wide - that perception is dangerous. I'm just a guy who lives in Shanghai, but from a recent, relatively long visit to the U.S., I think a potentially poisonous populism - a very, very angry populism - lurks just beneath the surface these days.

At 13:09, tri-captain Sarah Vaillancourt grabbed the puck and made an unassisted slick shot beneath Gopher goalkeeper Jenny Lura’s skate, straight into the net to tie the game.

...that just about does it for me. I'd add the bracing moment of Bush with the bullhorn in the ruins of the World Trade Center, but that was neutered in my memory by his ridiculous, preening appearance in a flight suit on the deck of the aircraft carrier beneath the "Mission Accomplished" sign. The flight-suit image is one of the two defining moments of the Bush failure. The other is the photo of Bush staring out the window of Air Force One, helplessly viewing the destruction wrought by Hurricane Katrina. This is a presidency that has wobbled between...
