...cage. He has tried to coerce him with economic sanctions and schoolboy bluster - a policy course that ended in 2006, when Kim tested a nuclear weapon, precisely the opposite of the result Bush intended. Since then, the Administration has tried bribery, offering blandishments like free food and fuel oil in hopes that North Korea would stand down its nuclear program. Kim has responded a bit - his nuclear reactor at Yongbyon, which produced the fissile material for the North's estimated eight to 10 nuclear bombs, is being shut down. But Kim has refused to detail, as he had promised...
...disappointed that you covered all the fringe power sources like wind, solar and wave action, which can meet only a small percentage of our needs. Making fuel from foodstuffs seems evil, considering the world's hunger crisis. The TIME has arrived to reconsider nuclear power. Please give us an unbiased study on the efforts of those nations that are producing electricity from nuclear energy. How safe are the plants? What are they doing with the waste? What is the carbon footprint? Lyman Burgmeier, Cypress, Calif...
...aircraft will democratize private air travel on the Continent much as low-cost carriers opened up commercial aviation to the masses. Microjets start at $1.5 million, a fraction of the $8 million price tag of the cheapest business jets currently on the market. Thanks to their more efficient fuel use, very light jets will also cost some 50% less to fly, allowing air-taxi and corporate shuttle services to sell a seat on one for about the same price as a commercial business-class ticket. "We don't see private jets as a luxury but as a tool to save...
...gentleman's agreement" with Blink, Jet Bird and other microjet operators that they would not fly above 28,000 ft. (8,500 m), the minimum cruising altitude of commercial jets. But that agreement collapsed in April after the operators claimed that flying at lower altitudes would burn too much fuel, making it tough to operate profitably. In October, Eurocontrol will conduct a simulation in Budapest that will flood air-traffic control with hundreds of microjets. If the test suggests that the safety of larger planes could be compromised, Eurocontrol may push regulators to mandate dedicated flight paths and better collision...
...their tax credit fall as much as 6 cents per gallon, down to 45 cents. The bill would instead offer a $1-per-gallon subsidy to producers of cellulosic ethanol, made from corn stalks, switchgrass and wood chips, which studies show can be produced more efficiently than corn-based fuel...
