...runs in the last day inspires people.” The rest of the Harvard squad was behind her the whole way, both in and out of the water, as she raced for the title.

She pushes her. Meg’s swim wasn’t exactly what she wanted, but Jackie?...
...thermal uses rows of specially curved parabolic mirrors to focus sunlight on a pipe full of synthetic oil. The sun's energy superheats the oil, which is then used to boil water into steam. The steam runs turbines, which generates electricity. The technology is as simple as any fossil fuel plant, and cheaper by material than the technologically complex photovoltaic panels. It can be more easily built up to utility-scale than photovoltaic solar - Acciona's plant, which began operation last year, produces 64 megawatts of electricity for the utility company Nevada Power, enough to light up 14,000 homes...

Islamabad spends some $2 billion on fuel subsidies, for instance. Sadly for ordinary Pakistanis and for the incoming government, the country's rapidly worsening fiscal deficit will make it harder to keep underwriting those costs. Continuing the subsidies will only worsen the country's budgetary woes. But if the government passes on the true cost of gas, the resulting increase will fuel inflation even more...
