Alley, the Penn. State professor focused on the sensitivity of the Arctic to climate change, saying that glacial melting as a result of even a minute increase in temperature “affects the ocean currents, it affects the wind currents, it affects a lot of things...
...great being at Harvard to take part in a unique style of racing for the women’s team,” sophomore Alex Jumper said. “We had to deal with the typical Charles conditions, which were very shifty winds and big wind velocity changes...
...winter, Harvard’s colors are only getting greener. Continuing a promising pattern of leading higher education in sustainability, Harvard signed a 15-year deal this week that will ensure that 10 percent of the energy needs for its Cambridge and Allston buildings will be provided by wind power from the New England-based company First Wind. Not only does this decision reflect Harvard’s commitment to reducing its impact on the environment—making it the fourth-largest consumer of green power for U.S. colleges—it also sets an example for institutions...
...purchase of 50 percent of the power from First Wind’s Stetson II farm near Danforth, Maine (scheduled to be fully operating by mid-2010), will add to Harvard’s greening efforts, which already include wind turbines on top of the Holyoke Center and Soldiers Field parking lot, along with new 500-kilowatt solar panels nearly two and a half football fields in length that will be put on a Harvard-owned building in Watertown, Mass. Even amidst budget cuts and endowment losses, Harvard’s continued commitment to lowering its greenhouse-gas emissions...

RECs can be sold separately from the power itself to companies looking for environmental investments. Harvard has wisely acquired the RECs that are coming with their newly bought power, allowing them to profit from the wind farm in which they will be investing. Harvard has also wielded its economic power and sheer size to effect change in the green...
