...would be placed on undergraduates’ printing accounts, which presently can only be accessed in College computer labs. UC representatives said they intend to lobby College administrators to expand the accounts for use in campus libraries as well.The money would be separate from Crimson Cash—a debit account that students can access with a swipe of their ID card—because the UC wants to ensure that the allotted sum will go “specifically toward printing,” according to UC member Benjamin P. Schwartz ’10.Schwartz co-sponsored the legislation...
...voters like Garcia and Machado that the Rosales campaign is failing to win over. His main proposal is a debit card, called "Mi Negra," that would tap oil revenues to give anywhere from $300 to $1,000 a month in cash to Venezuelans in need.

And so there's something that governments and environmentalists ought to agree on, right now: give consumers a motivation to go green. Currently, if I pay my utility bill through a direct debit to my checking account, I get a small but welcome discount. It should be the same if I switch to renewables: the utility should give me a saving, which the government can subsidize with a tax break (it can't be more expensive than building the nuclear stations that Prime...
