...might actually kill you? -Andy Baker, Des Moines, IowaIt was just part of living with Keith at the time. It was like, "You are going to kill me. Go ahead." Then he would say, "I would, but look at all the mess me and your wife would have to clean up afterwards." It was like brothers arguing, and it could turn bad, or we could have a laugh. Our sense of humor pulled us over those dodgy times...
...royalties of 4%; new mines, 8%. "We were disappointed," said Lauren Pagel, legislative advisor with Earthworks, a nonprofit dedicated to reforming the mining law. "We're going to fight to get an amendment onto the House floor for an 8% royalty on existing mines. The royalty is needed to clean up abandoned mines.

That will require massive investment in the energy sector - and the dirty secret is that for all our talk about the importance of new, clean technology, governments around the world have underinvested in energy. The report's authors point out that global public investment in energy research and development was just $9 billion in 2005 - about a billion less than the U.S. is currently spending in Iraq per month. That has to be doubled, at least. "We need money on the magnitude of what the U.S. invested in the Apollo program," said Steven Chu, another co-chair and the director...

Unlike sated developed nations, China and India still have massive amounts of energy infrastructure left to build, so if they can be induced to build clean, the future difference would be dramatic.

Cleaning up the developing world won't be simple...
Harvard students are notoriously clean, well groomed, and virtuous. First-years at the College are known particularly for their chaste habits and healthy lifestyles. Failing to do laundry every week? Unheard of. Irregular bathing schedules? Absurd. Engaging in sexual contact with another resident of your dormitory, especially in Pennypacker? Surely you jest! But alas, while we all slept innocently in our narrow beds, thinking of nothing but course packs and profound questions to ask during section, scabies crept into our lives (for some quite literally—the mite Sarcoptes scabiei tunnels into the skin of humans). Two Saturdays...
