...fundamentally different problem, on a far vaster scale, then the local air pollution or wildlife conservation issues that environmentalists have faced before, and it demands a different kind of solution. At the core of that problem is energy, which touches every aspect of modern life, and while the old green virtues of conservation, of simple living, must play a part in our response, the key will be technology. We must invent, develop and implement - on a global scale - low-carbon means of using power. What's required, as Krupp writes in his new book, Earth: The Sequel, is a "second...
Revolutions are never easy, but as Krupp's book shows, the solutions to the climate crisis are out there - and so are the new environmentalists. The longtime president of the Environmental Defense Fund - one of the more centrist and business-friendly green groups - Krupp and his collaborator Miriam Horn traveled the U.S., meeting the scientists, venture capitalists and dreamers inventing new and better ways to use energy. (Listen to Krupp talk about climate policy in the U.S. and a zero-carbon future on Greencast.) That includes characters like the Irish-born Conrad Burke, the charismatic CEO of the young solar...
...league could not use a tiebreaker to name its representative to the NCAA tourney—the three teams each split two games with each other—so Plan B, a two-game, three-team playoff begins tomorrow night in New York.

For once, the duo that makes up Gnarls Barkley—Danger Mouse (Brian Burton) and Cee-Lo Green (Thomas Callaway)—appear in the video in person, and not as ink blots (“Crazy”) or as fleas perving on a leggy housewife (“Gone Daddy Gone”). Justin Timberlake shows up as well. “Run” flaunts...
...substances to pose as innards, but there is really no way to know as the video is so visually bizarre that it’s difficult to think about its message. As Santogold walks down the street we see images of a woman who appears to be vomiting green slime (which is really coming from tubes hooked over her ears) and two men that appear to be pulling links of cucumbers out of a man’s body cavity. Perhaps Santogold is using this video to outline the dangers of being an artist, or perhaps she is a little...
