...like to know what these things are,” Lindaman said yesterday. Residents have also asked Harvard to use low-sulfur fuel in the trucks and on-site vehicles at the project. In October, a state law will go into effect requiring the University to implement environmentally-friendly diesel fuel, already in use in Harvard’s shuttle system and the city’s buses. The University says that complicated logistics—like the paucity of gas stations that sell the low sulfur fuel—make the diesel swap infeasible. “We?...

...coal can look and burn like regular coal. The IRS rule for transforming coal into synfuel--and getting the tax credit--requires only that the substance be chemically altered in some way.

Other operators mix coal-mining waste with chemicals, coat it with latex and blend it with untreated coal to form briquettes. (For an earlier story on the scheme, see "The Great Energy...

For the most part, the girls on the bus are conservatively dressed, hair prim and shoulder-length or tied up in ponytails. The accessories of choice are gossip rags, shopping bags, and Starbucks cups. The girls in the very back giggle over the child actors in the “The Pacifier.” Other riders chat softly or fiddle with their iPods. The scene could be mistaken for a ride...
