...generating capacity from renewable energy sources such as the sun and wind. Its neighbor, Southern California Edison, joined forces this month with Texas Instruments in a six-year, $10 million project that will use low-grade silicon instead of more expensive higher grades to make photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight into electricity. Says Robert Dietch, a Southern Cal Edison vice president: "This has the potential to be the type of breakthrough technology we've all been looking for in the solar industry...

When Saddam emerges from his bunker, blinking into the sunlight, he will face the devastation he has brought down on his people as well as an embargo that could last as long as he is in power.

...nuclear-winter-like situation," asserts Paul Crutzen, director of Germany's Max Planck Institute for Chemistry. Jordanian experts say the wells could burn 10 million bbl. of oil a day, releasing a vast cloud of black smoke into the stratosphere. Such a cloud has the potential to screen sunlight, reduce temperatures and damage crops throughout the northern hemisphere. Not all experts agree with the grim forecasts, contending that Kuwaiti oil fields are too far apart to combine into one conflagration. If only some wells blow, the multibillion-dollar task of extinguishing the fires would be unlike any previous disaster. Much...

What about the widespread use of estrogen therapy following menopause? Studies show only a mildly elevated risk. And while food additives and even lack of sunlight have come under suspicion, there is little evidence to convict them...
