...other show stars, controversy was the primary fuel for very limited brief spikes. The single greatest one-week spike, for example, was for third season contestant and country music star Sara Evans. Sara's search spike - over 8,000 times the normal level for searches on her name - actually had nothing to do with her participation in the show, but everything to do with her quitting the show mid-season due to a very messy and very public divorce from her politician husband...
...Your cover story provides a distorted, inaccurate picture of biofuels. The overwhelming body of data demonstrates the carbon benefits of biofuels. For every unit of energy it takes to make domestic biodiesel, 3.5 units are gained, giving biodiesel the highest energy balance of any liquid fuel. In 2007 alone, biodiesel's contribution to reducing greenhouse-gas emissions was the equivalent of removing 700,000 passenger vehicles from America's roadways. The U.S. biodiesel industry strongly opposes rain-forest destruction and nonsustainable agricultural practices. Biodiesel increases our renewable-energy supply, adds well-paying, green jobs to the economy and reduces carbons...
...Remember basic high-school science, where an electric current passed through water produces hydrogen and oxygen? Get the electricity from solar power, collect the hydrogen to use as fuel, and carbon doesn't even enter the equation. Honda, Mercedes-Benz, General Motors and BMW have new models that run on hydrogen, but we don't see much enthusiasm from governments. Is it because hydrogen, being so simple to generate, could be too difficult to tax? John Don, Karalee, Queensland...
...amounts of biomass, gasification plants emit as much CO2 as traditional plants. To combat high emissions, Massachusetts’s Senate bill requires that gasification emissions match those of natural gas. What looks like a step in the right direction remains problematic: Ultimately, incentivizing the burning of any fossil fuel, coal or natural gas, is not environmentally sound. To produce the same kilowatt-hour of power, a natural gas plant still releases approximately twice the net CO2 of a photovoltaic plant, three times more than hydroelectric plants, and 14 times more than wind farms. If Massachusetts wants to prevent climate...
...tried to coerce him with economic sanctions and schoolboy bluster-a policy course that ended on in the autumn of 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 food and free fuel oil in hopes that in return 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 8 to 10 nuclear bombs-is slowly being shut down. But Kim has refused to detail...
