...similar rate minus the energy saving we can achieve through improved efficiency. World energy demand might triple by 2050, yet we'll have to bring emissions at mid-century well under today's global rate if the world is to stay safe. The point is that all major economies, including the U.S., Europe, Japan, China, and India, will need to shift, and shift soon, to low-emission power plants, automobiles and factories...
Here's what might happen. The major economies will have to shift decisively to low-emission electricity plants, partly through increased use of renewable and nuclear energy, and partly through carbon capture and sequestration. Automobile emissions will be slashed through new designs, such as the "plug-in hybrid" technology, in which cars will be powered by a mix of gasoline and electricity and will be plugged into the wall socket for an overnight charge. Large industrial emitters like cement, steel and petrochemical factories will also have to capture their own carbon dioxide emissions as well. And our buildings will...

"It's that attitude that banlieue residents deserve whatever they get that makes so many people angry," notes Cazenave...
...Black Friday, shoppers nationwide rise before dawn or camp out all night to benefit from major sales at large stores. But because Harvard Square stores rely on students and tourists to generate profit, the Thanksgiving holiday left some stores empty. “Sales were dead Friday,” said DOMA Liquors store manager Arjun Kunwar. “Once the classes start again, it’ll be mad busy. Students will buy a lot of liquor.” According to the estimate by ShopperTrak, a sales research company, Friday’s nationwide sales rose...
