Murray joins the commission after spending her first year at the helm of SEAS, where she launched broad efforts to expand the school's footprint within Harvard, initiated a multi-year program to convert individual tracks in Engineering Science into discrete concentrations, and increased national awareness of developments within SEAS...
Nuclear power is a tailor-made solution to the climate change and energy problems. It is extremely clean, produces enormous amounts of electricity in a very small footprint, and is economically competitive with other forms of electricity. Additionally, uranium resources are abundant compared with other fuels (it could be mined from seawater, for example...
...natural gas; the carbon emissions from the entire nuclear-energy cycle about equal that of a wind or hydroelectric plant. Nuclear plants even emit less radioactivity than coal plants, since there are natural radioactive materials mixed in with the coal, which are vented into the air. The footprint of a nuclear plant is miniscule compared to the hundreds of windmills required to generate the electrical output of a single reactor. Nuclear plants also avoid the highly toxic chemicals used in solar-panel production, and again, a single reactor can generate more electricity than many square miles of solar panels exposed...
...spent $13.9 billion to buy the languishing infotech-consulting giant Electronic Data Systems (EDS), a direct play against high-end-services leader IBM. Then last November, HP announced it would pay $2.7 billion for networking concern 3Com, a means to rile Cisco as well as expand HP's footprint in the rapidly growing China market, where 3Com is strong. About 70% of HP's business is overseas...
