...couple live in a drafty unfinished house with no hot water. "I haven't had a hot water heater since 1970," she says. It also has no septic system (they use an outhouse, even in the bitter Maine winters) and has only a wood stove for heat. It goes without saying there is no television, and certainly not a computer. Chute writes her books on jangled old typewriters. Her husband sometimes hunts moose for their protein...
...fresh aroma reminiscent of a walk-in cedar closet. It is indeed red cedar: tons of chips discarded by a timber mill and trucked in to fuel the University of Idaho's steam plant in the town of Moscow (population roughly 23,000). Thermal biomass provides over 80% of heat and hot water to the campus of nearly 11,000 students. Wood-fueled steam also powers five of the eight chiller units that cool the campus buildings during warm weather. Plant manager Mike Lyngholm says the process significantly reduces the school's net carbon emissions and saves $2 million...
Idaho's central boiler is heated by burning wood to temperatures approaching 2,000°F, performing on par with what is called Advanced Wood Combustion (AWC) technology developed in Europe. "AWC is so clean and safe that AWC systems are commonly deployed in the midst of picture-perfect European towns and villages," says Daniel Richter, professor of soils and forest ecology at Duke University. They are different from ordinary plants that generate electricity by burning wood. In a piece in the journal Science last March, Richter wrote that 90% of the solar energy stored in wood is transformed into...
...poor girl to question Jupiter’s immortality. Semele, unaware that the sight of Jupiter in all his divine glory is fatal, demands to see him as a god. He begs her not to, but she stands firm, and once he reveals himself, she is burned in the heat of his thunderbolts...
...anything, the chaotic race has so far been helping the incumbent. When Obama last came to New Jersey, polls showed Corzine trailing Christie by as many as 10 points. Polls now show the race to be a dead heat. A recent Fairleigh Dickinson University poll found that 72% of voters who support Obama now support Corzine, up from just 66% a month ago. Corzine has also appeared to be benefiting from a small but growing level of support for the independent candidate Christopher Daggett, who seems to be taking anti-incumbent voters from Christie...
