...remains a vital area for exploration, the shift eastward means the old Energy Capital must diversify. "A lot of us in Houston have been saying that the energy industry in Houston needs to be a lot more innovative," Jaffe said. Energy industry and political leaders are beginning to develop wind energy offshore in the Gulf, and look to other alternatives. From now on, the "bidness" discussions at the Petroleum Club are more likely to focus on new energy technologies like carbon sequestration than wildcatting...
...free of genetically modified material, and organic crops are required to be isolated from other crops. But as GM crops become more prevalent, there is little that an organic farmer can do to prevent a speck of GM pollen or a stray GM seed from being blown by the wind onto his land or farm equipment and, eventually, into his products.

Most wind up dead, and all wind up destroyed—and just to remind you, this is a comedy. Kline does an admirable job of keeping the pace snappy enough that there’s barely enough time for the shock of a given moment to register before the action has moved on. At the same time, Kline deftly slows down the action at the end for the more dramatic, but still unflinching, final scenes...
