...give us the accurate awkwardness of Iris and Miles’s first date, in which he attempts to make light of an “accidental boob graze,” and the hilarious spectacle of drunken Amanda perusing the aisles of an English market in search of fuel for her post break-up carb binge. The jury is still out on whether or not Diaz was actually allowed to consume any of her high- calorie purchases...
...cooling systems. But going solar would slice $130 off the monthly energy bill of a standard home, says Per Olofsson, CEO of ClimateWell. And with electricity and gas prices rocketing, users would be "much less vulnerable to fluctuations in the future." Moreover, without leaning heavily on traditional sources of fuel (the pumps forcing the salt and water around the machine are electric but use only 100 watts), the average home could reduce carbon dioxide output by 13 tons a year...
...realists" [Nov. 20]: I am sure the neoconservatives would like the American people to believe that they led us into Iraq because they are altruistic and idealistic lovers of democracy, and not because they were trying to secure Iraq's considerable oil supplies for our continuing fossil-fuel gluttony. They appear to have persuaded Isaacson, however, because his column did not even mention the subject of Iraq's oil. Nevertheless, they will have a harder time convincing many other Americans. Cary Dictor San Leandro, California, U.S. Without Apology Columnist Michael Kinsley argued that the neoconservative policy hawks should apologize...
...built in the harder-to-target poles. The perpetual sunshine in most of the extreme north and south means plenty of light for energy-producing solar panels; the perpetual darkness in the shadowed polar regions means a steady supply of water ice, which can be harvested for consumption and fuel manufacture. Currently, the lip of south pole's Shackleton Crater is NASA's favorite site...
...There are other, trickier challenges that would have to be overcome. Part of the justification for a lunar base has always been that the moon is rich in helium-3, an isotope of common helium that could serve as fuel in eventual fusion reactors. Astronauts could, in theory, mine the stuff and ship it back to Earth. That's fine, but first we have to, well, invent the reactor. What's more, as the beleaguered crews aboard the International Space Station have discovered, sometimes just maintaining your ship can take all your time and the mission itself - scientific research, mining...
