...newly-discovered lilt. The more formulaic rock songs are spacey and urgent—they reinforce where “Crypograms” faltered. Chief among them are “Nothing Ever Happened” with its meaty bass-surge and “Twilight at Carbon Lake,” with its swooning, orchestral plunge. And as good as the songs sound, the register of any identity behind them is fleeting at best. The fingerprints of the band are barely visible, as it seems Deerhunter are no longer interested in sounding unique. Like any good indie band these...
...talk on combating climate change. The notion that the planet is on the brink of catastrophe from this amorphous force is a hard sell in New Zealand, where water is abundant and lush pastoral land rolls on forever. Clark wants New Zealand, which produces 0.4% of the world's carbon emissions, to set the pace on emissions cuts, just as it was the first country to grant women the vote (1893) and the first Western-allied nation to legislate itself into nuclear-free status (1987). "New Zealand has got to be part of solving serious problems," Clark said...
...more than a dozen years of being stymied, first by Newt Gingrich and then by George W. Bush, congressional Democrats are bursting with pent-up ambitions and long-deferred dreams. Some are epic undertakings that would affect every American for decades - like the proposal to impose a cap on carbon dioxide emissions and put a price on permits to burn fossil fuels. Or the goal of completely reorganizing the way the U.S. manages health care. Other, smaller projects involve large amounts of controversy - like a bill that would allow federal funds to pay for abortions. And expansion of embryonic-stem...
...other hand, in a period of ballooning deficits, an energy bill has the advantage of seeming to pay for itself. The sale of carbon-emission permits would raise billions of dollars, money Congress could then disperse in the form of grants for alternative-energy research, tax credits for greening homes and businesses, and loans to retool inefficient industries - starting with Detroit's struggling automakers. Republicans doomed a Clinton-era attempt to do something similar by christening the plan a "carbon tax." For Obama to succeed, he would have to convince the public that this tax is truly an "investment...
...such powerful and exciting idea.”For some time now, eco-consciousness has imbued Harvard’s plans for the Allston campus. But the better known aspects of its plan—notably, the deal between Harvard and Massachusetts to put a pre-emptive cap on carbon dioxide emissions from the new campus—have focused more on macro environmental policies. The newest revisions focus less on these innovations, which rely heavily on out-of-sight technology, and more on creating a natural aesthetic that interweaves natural elements more tightly with the future campus. In order...
