...Klaatu, played now by Keanu Reeves, stripping him of all Christ-like attributes and turning him into a zombie-like figure, awash in ambiguity; once he gets to meet a few humans he see that they're really not such bad sorts after all. The guy was never a ton of fun, but formerly he was at least a figure of moral weight and - especially rare in popular entertainments - a believably brainy one, a kind of public intellectual before that egregious term was invented. Now he's pretty much a drip...
...translating into environmental gains, take a trip to the research campus of Lafarge, just outside the French city of Lyons. The world's largest cement company, with sales of $22.5 billion in 2007, Lafarge has set itself the goal by 2010 of cutting its net CO2 emissions for every ton of cement it produces to 20% below the 1990 level. But it is also steaming ahead with research efforts into smarter, stronger and less polluting products, including ultra-high-performance concrete. Research director Casanova traces the path of innovation back to the 1980s, when the first big gains were made...

Which is where chicken farmer Frye, with his small biochar operation, comes in as one of the few people out there actually making a business of it. With a pyrolysis unit that can create 3-4 tons of biochar a day, he generates enough energy to heat his hen houses; and he sells the char as fertilizer for $600 a ton. For Lehmann, biochar's benefits aren't so much a scientific novelty as a return to basics. "From cave drawings to iron smelting, charcoal has always...
