...first rule of artistic survival is to leave a large mass of output when you die--though this, mercifully in some cases, does not always succeed. Vermeer painted very little--or at least very few of his paintings have survived. The present count is about 34. And because his work had little influence on younger artists, and wasn't much written about even in Holland until the early 19th century, and was seen by so few people, it languished. His reputation didn't really revive until the late 19th century, helped (as old painting so often is) by enthusiasms...
...best to come up with an all-inclusive list of 20 things you can do to reduce carbon dioxide output, but several of you came up with novel ideas we had overlooked. A Montana resident suggested ending NASCAR competitions, which consume thousands of gallons of fuel per race. A Maryland man proposed shunning large houses in favor of smaller, more energy-efficient homes--an idea a San Jacinto, Calif., homeowner put a slightly different spin on. "Many of us have small lawns that we mow with gas or electric machines," he wrote. "Why not switch to manual or push lawn...
...Payne, president of Green Mountain's Eastern region, "but it might be better for all if there were more games in town." Local companies that offer green options siphon off potential customers--including 30 other EP&L churches--but Green Mountain remains the most dedicated national player. The total output of U.S. renewables is 16,500 MW, about 2% of the total U.S. grid. "Until the demand for green energy increases, you're just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic," says Adam Markham of Clean Air-Cool Planet, a nonprofit in Portsmouth...
...infrastructure that's available and the capacity of those refineries. We're talking about energy conservation and about how we can use new technology to get more bang for the buck in terms of the energy we do use and reduce the amount of energy consumption per unit of output. We're talking about independence and energy independence and avoiding the kinds of threats to our security that will develop if we don't address these kinds of questions long term. So it's a good broad-based study being done by cabinet officials with help from their staffs...
...What was needed to complete the picture was a vigorously engaged U.S. to control its own titanic greenhouse output and help get Kyoto enacted. The developments of the past few weeks cast doubt on whether that will happen, and for now, other nations may have to go it alone. "The science is so much more solid that humans are not going to sit by and foul their own nests," says Fred Krupp, executive director of the advocacy group Environmental Defense. "We have to do something...
