At DOE, Schlesinger, now chief White House energy adviser, will have an annual budget of around $7 billion and a truly czar-sized staff of about 20,000 employees. Among them...
...world to the Red Sea port of Jidda in six months to a year. If the mountain of ice was large enough-say 85 million tons-and wrapped in insulating plastic, it would shrink by no more than 20% along the way, providing enough water to the desert kingdom to make the venture economically feasible...
