...solar system’s little siblings is even more like our own than researchers had previously thought, according to a new study co-authored by a scientist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics...
...will we just find another source? Maybe someone's going to develop clean coal. That's very possible. They're certainly going to be doing more wave power, more wind power, better solar-generation materials. That's on the way, and who knows what else is out there? But it's not going to forever...
...seems like everyone around here lately has been jumping on the solar-powered band wagon of sustainability. That is, until the sun runs out! [Insert Nobel Peace Prize here]. But who is really taking measurable steps? Prestige and Mobility care about sustainability and are putting our carbon credits where our mouths are. We plant a tree each time we kill a dolphin or eat a Panda Burger (mmm... Panda Burgers, only $4.95 at b.good when also presenting a copy of The Harvard Voice). We tried to start a wind farm in Adams A, using fans all powered by other fans...
...September. (By contrast, the S&P Index lost about 25% of its value over the same time period.) The cost of oil, which has driven much of the investment in alternative energy in recent years, has halved since the summer. And new green industries, like wind farms and solar-panel factories, are no less affected by the credit crunch than any other business...
...global recession will clearly take some air out of the green-investment bubble. FPL Group, the largest operator of wind power in the U.S., just announced that it would cut back on new turbines, while Germany's Schott Solar, one of the oldest solar-power companies in the world, pulled out of a planned $900 million initial public offering. But popping the bubble might not be a bad thing if the tougher economy forces the clean-tech industry to make better use of its resources. It may emerge even stronger from the crisis. "Change is good for start...
