...planning, building and energy policies that can support microgeneration." Critics, including many in the nuclear industry, fault microgeneration as inefficient, uneconomical and overly romantic - too small-scale to power industry or to make much of a dent in greenhouse gas emissions. Many want a fresh look at the nuclear option, arguing that it is one of the cleanest ways to produce power. Microgeneration fans disagree. Jeremy Leggett, ceo of Solarcentury, Britain's leading solar photovoltaics company, thinks nuclear power is risky and that a combination of dwindling oil reserves and global warming will eventually propel microgeneration technologies into the mainstream...
...rare dance or formal, exclusive final clubs, bars, or crowded hit-or-miss room parties. Pub Night is the first and only all-inclusive space where students can kick back, chat with friends (possibly over a drink), enjoy some music, dance, and mingle. It’s another option for your social life—you can just pass through or spend the whole night there, as will likely happen when other parties are shut down for LSATs or MCATs.

While divestment may be appropriate in some cases, for example PetroChina and Sudan, in most cases it is an impractical option...
...really want to starve the beast of these governments, there are two viable options: military force or reducing oil demand. Forced change of these governments is generally drastic and unpopular—no one is clamoring for invasions of Sudan or Burma. The other option is to give pause to how world oil demand could be reduced. While demand remains at current levels, these governments will get their money and very little can be done to change these governments that have no internal incentives to improve. Thus, if we want to make a real difference we should not vent...
...Breakdown: Don’t think you can handle the heart-pumping pace of the MAC? The law school gym, Hemenway, offers a slightly less competitive option. Though it will be closing soon for major renovations, serious “law types” decked out in rec-specs and headbands flock to the open court on weekday afternoons. The decrepit gym with bars on the windows and crusty red pads lining the walls gives this game an old-school ambiance. Given the frequency of cheap fouls and grumbling, arguments arise consistently, and battling a prosecutor-in-training never ends...
