...that's still pretty egregious. We used an estimated 4 quadrillion British thermal units on air-conditioning in 2006, which is more than the total energy usage of all but 21 countries. And a fair amount of that is peak usage - the sort that sends the electric grid crackling toward brownouts and meltdowns and increases the demand for the construction of more electric power plants (and the pollution they spew - unless they use renewable sources like hydropower or, as John McCain correctly insists, nuclear power, which should be carefully reconsidered). "A lot of utilities supplement their main power sources with...

And Sunday, following Berlusconi's public request to his bishop, Benedict spoke about Communion to a gathering in Canada by video hookup.

Again he offered his empathy for "those who cannot have Communion due to their situation," and urged them...

In Europe alone, total online sales should rocket 63% from an estimated $246 billion this year, to $401 billion in 2011, it predicts. In the U.S., total sales are expected to soar 93% from last year to $335 billion in 2012. Premium brand companies that are selling online expect their total sales to jump 111% within five years, by which point they will account for 22% of total sales. And selling on the web can help boost a company's brick...
