(California attempted to go the last route, mandating steep reductions in carbon emissions from cars, but the Environmental Protection Agency last month rejected the law.

The safe level varies from technology to technology but programs that keep oil above roughly $50 a barrel would be a great help. "One hundred-dollar-a-barrel oil is not sufficient alone to drive investment," says DeCicco. "We need an energy policy with a conscience...
...violence that has rocked Kenya since its controversial presidential election last week reached a horrific level on Tuesday when 50 people, including women and children, were burned alive in a church in the country's west after they had sought sanctuary there from a mob infuriated over the allegedly stolen vote.

The 12 delegates who will be chosen on Saturday each have to represent...

Earlier this month, a state-level minister was hurt when the driver of the boarding bus braked suddenly to avoid a collision at Delhi's domestic airport. The bus driver had been talking on a cell phone...
