...There is a three-week period over the Antarctic with massive destruction due to high chlorine, some time and a lot of sunlight," Anderson says. "The preparation is the same over the Arctic, but there isn't enough sun to generate the ozone hole like that over the Antarctic...
...Nothing will come of nothing" is an axiom of art history, and the notion that Impressionism was a matter of innocent eyes doing sunlight with broken touches without "academic" preconceptions is strictly for the birds in the sunlit trees. What's wrong with the name Impressionism is that it suggests quick shots of fleeting things. Yet the main progenitor of New Painting was the most solid, stubborn and material painter imaginable, Gustave Courbet. A Renoir like Bather with a Terrier, 1870, could hardly exist without the example of Courbet's wardrobe nudes. Courbet was the doubting Thomas of painting...
...that these modest-size systems can produce power for as little as 4 cents per KW-H, cheaper than the polluting gas and diesel generators Tennant Creek now relies on. In California's Mojave Desert, Pacific Gas and Electric uses a solar-thermal technology that employs mirrors to focus sunlight and heat liquids moving through pipes in long troughs. This array produces large amounts of electricity -- nearly 200 times as much as the Tennant Creek system -- for an estimated 8.5 cents to 14 cents per KW-H. That is at least double the cost of coal power, but solar proponents...
...moment, power from solar-thermal systems costs less than that produced by photovoltaic cells, which convert sunlight straight into electricity. Advocates of PV cells point out, though, that the gap is narrowing and that PV cells have other advantages. Solar-thermal systems require direct sunlight, while PV cells work in cloudy weather. Even at 25 cents to 50 cents per KW-H, PV cells are economical for small amounts of energy in remote places. Homeowners find solar power less expensive than connecting to a utility if a house lies farther than a mile from the nearest power line. Even...
