...task that will require not only political will but also personal sacrifice. Not everyone is so thrilled with CFLs: many give off a harsher, bluish light, and, in my experience, they take longer to fully brighten than standard bulbs. The only reason they’re starting to catch on is that they actually save consumers money in the long-term. By using the new bulbs, the average California household saves $40 per year in decreased electricity costs, according to the California Energy Commission...

In contrast, the Curtis Institute provides full scholarships to all of its students. However, there’sa catch: the the admission rate is less than 6 percent.

The region is also politically sensitive. China invaded Tibet in 1950, and its leader, the Dalai Lama, later fled to exile in India. The Tibetan government in exile, which is based in the north Indian town of Dharamsala, has long accused Beijing of exploiting their homeland, a concern that has only been amplified by the new discoveries...
