...race, Jager enlisted the help of the country's National Aerospace Laboratory and TNO, a Dutch research institute, as well as companies that make aerodynamic clothing, bike coatings and wheels. The result? The so-called half-million-euro bike--a blend of science and design that uses carbon technology to increase the frame's stiffness without a significant increase in weight...
...long as we can maintain - which we have demonstrated we could - the level of security that exists. What they did in February - on the de-baathification law, on establishing the provincial elections, on reconciliation - are major steps forward. And if they can complete the job on the hydro-carbon law, I think we have a chance to gradually withdraw, turn over the security to the Iraqi troops, of which we now have 500,000 trained and in uniform. Then we will have accomplished the goal of a fledgling democracy in the Middle East...
...Defense Fund - one of the more centrist and business-friendly green groups - Krupp and his collaborator Miriam Horn traveled the U.S., meeting the scientists, venture capitalists and dreamers inventing new and better ways to use energy. (Listen to Krupp talk about climate policy in the U.S. and a zero-carbon future on Greencast.) That includes characters like the Irish-born Conrad Burke, the charismatic CEO of the young solar company Innovalight; or Alla Weinstein, a Russian immigrant who wants to bring tidal energy to the Pacific Northwest. Touring the best ideas in solar, wind and geothermal power, biofuels, even clean...
...fuel power because they lack economic scale. As solar panels or wind turbines are produced in bulk, the price will fall - but that won't happen until government sends a strong signal to producers and energy consumers. And the only way to do that, Krupp argues, is through a carbon cap-and-trade system that sets an implicit price on dirty fossil fuel, making clean energy instantly more competitive. "You align the economic signals with the imperative that we have to save the planet and ourselves," says Krupp. "When that happens, everything changes...
...summit's chairman, Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Jan'a, said the blueprint to move to a low-carbon economy was nothing short of a "third industrial revolution." Giving the leaders' debate an added frisson was a warning that climate change could even spark wars. E.U. foreign policy chief Javier Solana presented the leaders with a report saying that global warming will have a growing impact on global security, multiplying existing threats such as shortages of food and water. His report said that climate change could cause millions of people to migrate toward Europe as other parts of the world suffer...
