...more about how the U.S. learned of the vans' purpose. "We didn't just make them up one night. Those were eyewitness accounts of people who had worked in the program and knew it was going on, multiple accounts." Powell sarcastically dismissed alternative explanations: "'Oh, it was a hydrogen-making thing for balloons.' No. There's no question in my mind what it was designed for." But even Powell acknowledged that there were no signs of pathogens in the trucks...
...renewable energy, sights are now set beneath the surface for steam generation in such far-flung locations as Bolivia, Tibet, the Philippines and Hawaii. There are few good sites in Europe outside of Tuscany, with significant geothermal resources in Iceland, which is already well-covered by water and hydrogen power. Still, northern Europeans have been among the world leaders in using geothermal pools directly for such things as space heating, spas, greenhouses and fish farms. Overall, the world's geothermal capacity has doubled to about 8,000 MW in the past two decades, with facilities in 20 countries...
...environment. Several of the candidates have proposed dour, incremental "energy-independence" schemes that feature many of the worthy, ho-hum notions of years past--conservation, fuel-efficiency standards and the like. But the fun part of the environment is gizmos. The President, a gizmo kind of guy, embraced the hydrogen car. The Democrats could do that and more--nuclear fusion, wind power, digital interstate highways (a computer chip in your car locks you in at 70 m.p.h. a safe distance from the cars in front of and behind you). Whatever. The key is to have at least one issue...
There are alternatives to having an extremely oil-dependent economy. Hydrogen looks promising, and wind power is now price-competitive with coal. With aggressive policy measures, including investment subsidies for renewable energy and stronger standards for vehicle efficiency, the U.S. could be independent of foreign oil by 2015—and not a moment too soon. However, there is no indication that the federal government is taking these alternatives seriously. The Federal Budget for 2004 allocates a meager $1 billion towards hydrogen fuel cell research, yet vehicle fuel efficiency standards have hardly moved—from 20.7 miles per gallon...
...that the anti-hydrogen has been created, the Harvard team still must travel to Geneva to create more of it to study. They now hope to determine whether antihydrogen and hydrogen—and analogously, antimatter and matter—are exact mirror images of each other, or if other differences exist between...
