...develop clean fuels as "myth," "scam" and "hype" [April 7]. It is no myth that thousands of scientific teams are working feverishly to create biofuels such as ethanol, biodiesel and biobutanol from nonfood plants grown on land unsuitable for food production. We could not have landed on the moon without first launching at Kitty Hawk. We are getting better at this every day. Mark Beyer, Detroit...
...provided $10 million to develop private space flight. The Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has awarded prizes to develop autonomous ground vehicles. Even Google has offered a $30 million Lunar X prize for the first privately funded group to send a robot to the moon. However, PETA’s prize is unconventional in that it is the first prize put forward in the area of ethics, not exploration.For PETA, an organization devoted to stop the slaughter of animals, in vitro meat has obvious appeal. Despite efforts from activists, meat consumption continues to grow...

They've spent a combined 143 weeks on the New York Times best-seller list; when Eclipse was released last August, it bumped the final Harry...
...develop clean fuels as "myth," "scam" and "hype" [April 7]. It is no myth that thousands of scientists and their teams are working feverishly to create biofuels from nonfood plants grown on land unsuitable for food production. The science is still young. We could not have landed on the moon without first launching a primitive plane at Kitty Hawk. But we will succeed. Mark Beyer, Detroit...
...could serve them better. The College administration has an unfortunate tradition of opaque decision-making that has made undergraduates understandably cynical. HUDS, though, has bucked this trend and seems genuinely concerned with students’ beefs against it. Such accessibility seems to come around once in a blue moon at Harvard—and that is a big reason why we should seize upon it. Efforts like HUDS’ should always be rewarded with a receptive student body. Students are clearly hungry for change, and this is their chance to effect it. Moreover, we should uphold...
