Falling costs for equipment and steadily rising efficiency have finally brought solar power into the realm of the practical. The most solid indication that the technology is here to stay: 68 utilities, serving 40% of the nation's electricity consumers, formed a consortium to buy $500 million worth of solar-energy panels during the next six years.

...handle a few unanswered questions on “Lost.” That said, it would be nice if the writers threw us something. At this point, I’d settle for a tiny crust of a clue. Cut to a shot of the islanders. Sun has lost her wedding ring. She’s in tears, tearing up her garden. She’s certainly lost her Sunny demeanor (har har). Next, we have a flashback of her on a blind date that her mother set up with some Harvard hot-shot. Fittingly, he?...
