Renewable Energy: As solar and wind-turbine technology improve, it will become cheaper and easier for homeowners to provide much of their own electricity. The truly dedicated off-gridder will try to use both solar and wind, as the two energy sources are complementary - when the sun isn't shining, the wind often blows and vice versa. The good news is that Congress passed an extension to the production tax credits for wind and solar power in the recent economic bailout package, which will make installing your own electrical supply cheaper going forward...
...will we just find another source? Maybe someone's going to develop clean coal. That's very possible. They're certainly going to be doing more wave power, more wind power, better solar-generation materials. That's on the way, and who knows what else is out there? But it's not going to forever...
...care about sustainability and are putting our carbon credits where our mouths are. We plant a tree each time we kill a dolphin or eat a Panda Burger (mmm... Panda Burgers, only $4.95 at b.good when also presenting a copy of The Harvard Voice). We tried to start a wind farm in Adams A, using fans all powered by other fans plugged into the wall. (The data is still inconclusive.) And of course, we threw out all of the free condoms lest a duck or an Isis girl should unfortunately choke...
...Still, I yearn to take on Harvard with a dog… and not only because I think it would be fun to mimic Elle Woods. As it is, I have only a plant to water, and while it occasionally blows in the wind as if to wave in my direction, it hardly greets me with a sloppy kiss when I return from class each afternoon...
...Turns out, getting a boat to sail in a straight line when the wind is coming pretty much perpendicular to the course you’re trying to take is difficult. Even the little things, like getting all the boats to stay put on the starting line at once, I had never considered...
