...towering stilts and bright aluminum sheathing, its most unusual feature is the angled wedge on top. It was originally designed to house luxury apartments-a plan that was dropped because the zoning laws were not advantageous. Then the bank hoped to use its southern-faced panels as a solar energy generator; it even got a $185,000 federal grant to study its feasibility. Given the state of the art, solar energy proved an impractical undertaking for the moment-though there is a possibility that in two years or so the cheeky wedge will be producing energy from...
...want to project a positive image," Geoffrey P. Bernstein '80, one of the group's organizers, said yesterday. "We stand for safe, clean, renewable energy like solar and wind power and a diversion of military funds toward meeting social needs...
...Stanford University Solar-Terrestrial Physics Group recently confirmed a Harvard undergraduate's discovery correlating characteristics of the solar magnetic field and terrestrial weather, John M. Wilcox, chairman of the group said yesterday...
Wilcox said the solar magnetic field is carried to earth by the solar wind in four days. "The four day transit time could be used to warn of possible cyclones," Wilcox said...
...production costs are higher than in, say, Texas or Louisiana. Yet increased oil production is not all that is needed; vast amounts of energy are available from unconventional and extremely costly sources such as tar sands and shale, and potentially limitless energy is at hand in the form of solar and geothermal power. The best-and most likely-compromise solution is to retain the wellhead tax but channel some of the proceeds into research and development programs for unconventional sources...
