Those who prefer film over digital images should awaken from their chemically induced haze! Digital is faster, cleaner, more versatile and fun to work with. In the hands of a true cinematographer, digital moviemaking exhibits all the soul, humanity and feeling of a production shot on film. None of those attributes are inherent in film alone but are rather created by the person whose eye is at the viewfinder. Would we believe for a minute that Ansel Adams was sad the day he was able to stop lugging around glass plates in favor of film...
...developed world needs China to clean up, which is why he joined the Tsinghua-BP Clean Energy Research and Education Center as director when it opened in July 2003. The center's most promising project is a new technology called polygeneration, by which coal is converted into a cleaner gaseous fuel that can both generate electricity and be processed into a petroleum substitute. Polygeneration could cut the carbon emissions China generates by burning its copious coal reserves and reduce its dependence on oil imports. While his team continues to refine the technology--it's still more expensive than direct coal...
...1990s, Narain filed a lawsuit to force Delhi's buses, taxis and rickshaws to convert to cleaner-burning compressed natural gas (CNG). In July 1998, the Supreme Court ruled largely in her favor and adopted many of her proposals. It ordered a ban on leaded fuel, conversion of all diesel-powered buses to CNG and the scrapping of old diesel taxis and rickshaws. But busmakers and oil companies--supported by government ministers--objected loudly. So the court formed a committee, led by Lal and Narain, to enforce its judgment...
...class, I didn't think I knew how to study it. It just seemed like a lot of memorizing and equations and all that. But it's really cool. You get to blow stuff up. Last class, we took a Styrofoam cup and put it next to a vacuum cleaner, and it sucked all the air out of it, and it became like a midget Styrofoam cup. We also get to work with dangerous chemicals, so that class is pretty...
...responsible for those nightmare projections also present an environmental opportunity. "Anything you want to do about clean energy is easier to do from the outset," says David Moskowitz, an energy consultant who has advised Chinese officials. "Every time they add a power plant or factory, they can add one cleaner and better than before." If China and India can muster the will and resources to leapfrog the West's energy-heavy development path, dangerous climate change might be averted. "China and India have to demonstrate to other countries that it is possible to develop in a sustainable way," says Yang...
