...kind of synonym for green. But years ago, researchers began raising concerns about the direct emissions created by the heavy machinery and petroleum-based fertilizers it takes to grow corn and other biofuel feedstocks, the energy-intensive plants that convert the crops into fuel and the trucks that transport the fuel to market. A slew of studies have concluded that when you include all these life-cycle emissions, corn ethanol only produces about 20% fewer emissions than gasoline, although cellulosic ethanol produced from feedstocks like switchgrass can reduce emissions around...
...College will make a number of changes to its shuttle schedule for the 2009-2010 academic year. Once approved, detailed shuttle information and schedules can be found at http://www.uos.harvard.edu/transportation/passenger_transport_services/. Harvard College is working with Passenger Transport Services to maintain shuttle service during peak hours of ridership, including morning and late afternoon periods. In addition, we have ensured the continuation of Shuttle Tracker, the real-time GPS tracking system which allows students to wait indoors until a shuttle is nearing a stop, helping them plan their schedules more efficiently. However, preliminary service reductions during the academic year will...
...addition, Harvard College is working with Passenger Transport Services to maintain daytime and evening van services during peak ridership hours; however, service reductions will likely take place to this service as well. We will update these changes on the Transportation Services web site once they are finalized. In addition to the evening van service, students will continue to have the option of calling the Harvard University Campus Escort Program (HUCEP) at 617-384-8237 from 10:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. Sunday through Wednesday nights, and 10:30 p.m. to 3 a.m. Thursday through Saturday nights...
...powered by bioelectricity could travel nearly 14,000 miles on the energy produced by an acre of switchgrass, while an ethanol-powered SUV could go only 9,000 miles. "It looks like converting biomass to electricity, instead of using it to make ethanol, makes the most sense for both transport and the climate," says Elliott Campbell, an environmental engineer at UCM and lead author of the study...
...equal player on an open-access network. "This will totally change the telco industry and Telstra," says Budde. "Think if the road system was owned by one company that said 'you have to drive these cars.' Without open access to the roads there wouldn't be a transport industry, and the same applies to broadband," he says...
