Wolf said solar energy might provide an alternative for nuclear power. "I'm not an energy expert, but I do know that most of the utilities' money has been put into nuclear plants. The only way to address them is to close the plants," she said...
Russell said she only voted to oppose the plants because of the cost of power. "I just don't like the idea of nuclear power nearby," she added. But she said she thinks alternative energy sources, such as solar energy, are impractical...
...began to think of things like extruded- plastic houses and wood architecture. And I moved on gradually through transportation, land-use patterns and a whole panoply of related things." Plastics? Made from plants and thus biodegradable. Aluminum and nonferrous metals? Ban them. Garbage? Recycle everything. Electric power? Build solar and thermal-sea power plants...
...membrane and concentrate it into its crystalline form. For the next three years, at Huber's direction, the researchers used X-ray crystallography to determine the structure of the protein cluster's 10,000 atoms. The laborious research opens the possibility that someday scientists will be able to produce solar cells that mimic the design of photosynthesizing molecules...
...outpost on the moon. Such bases would provide critical facilities for studying the purification of materials and drugs in low-gravity and for observing the changes in the Earth's climate. They could also be stepping-off points for future manned and unmanned missions to other planets in our solar system. A clear mission, with the public in mind, will ensure that the space program is less concerned with commercial conquest than with taking "one giant step for mankind...
