...THIS FRANTIC RUMBLING, of course, may be moot. Boston Edison must build still a $10-$15 million stepdown station to accomodate MATEP's backup requirement. If it refuses to do so, Harvard is left with a multimillion dollar conversation piece. Even if Edison comes through, MATEP will have to spend about $1 million a year to buy power it may never use, which might make the power plant cost inefficient...
ONCE UPON A TIME, Harvard had a brilliant idea. Forecasting increases in energy prices and decreases in supply, the University decided to build the Medical Area Total Energy Plant (MATEP). MATEP, designed to provide energy to the medical schools and Harvard's affiliated teaching hospitals, would be the largest co-generation plant in America. On paper, it looked great--steam chilled water and heat all from the same diesel engines, and $2 million in annual savings...

"Our general notion is to develop that property for tax-producing, job-producing purposes," he said.

Long before the Europeans, they knew how to use the compass, make paper and gunpowder, print with movable type, build canal locks and segmented arch bridges.

...Chinese are also exploring more esoteric realms. In Peking American-educated veterans of China's nuclear weapons program told of their plans to build by the mid-1980s a 50 billion-electron-volt accelerator for research in particle physics. Scientists are building two gravity-wave detectors, one in Peking, the other at Canton's Sun Yat-sen University...
