...While the insights you reported are astounding, science is unable to address morality with any degree of certainty. For science to pin our hope on the possibility that "the struggles still to come are fewer than those left behind" is merely blowing in the wind. Better that scientists stay within scientific parameters. Although they accurately describe the mysterious condition of the "planet's most noble creatures," they have not moved one iota beyond the ancient biblical description of beings made in the image of God.

That capital is already paying off. Revenues for companies in solar energy, wind, biofuels and fuel cells surged from $40 billion in 2005 to $55 billion in 2006, according to the research group Clean Edge. Clean energy?related companies raised over $10.3 billion in ipos in 2006, up from $4.3 billion in 2005, and hot new companies such as First Solar, whose stock jumped from $25 to $215 in the past year, are angling to become green Googles. In turn, green venture capital in the U.S. is projected to rise to $18 billion by 2010, according to Nicholas Parker...

The enormous capital expenditure required to compete in the energy market makes government support all the more important.

...confound security matters further, Algerian jihadists are far from the only threat to Europe. The French intelligence officials say the U.K. faces a far greater menace from its own home-grown, swiftly-radicalized youths who may wind up getting inspiration and help for attacks from extremist contacts in Pakistan. Germany, meanwhile, has drawn the ire of militants with ties to jihadist groups that have formed at the margins of the Iraqi war in Syria and Lebanon. And all countries have been surprised to find converts at the heart of both successful and thwarted terror strikes. "Anyone who thinks they...
...former Michigan governor grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth, much like Dahl’s Veruca Salt. Romney is definitely the most blue-blooded and aristocratic of all candidates, and has shown a penchant for flip-flopping as the political wind changes, just as the greedy Veruca constantly changed her mind about what she wanted. The loud, brash, and hypercompetitive former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani most resembles Violet Beauregaurde. Consistently exaggerating his record when talking about “cleaning up New York City” and obsessively mentioning 9/11 in nearly every speech...
