...most of efficiency improvements in lighting and appliances, we could reduce power demand sufficiently to obviate the need for 1,410 coal plants. That's more than the 1,382 coal plants the International Energy Agency predicts will be built by 2020. If we start pumping out new wind turbines with the same industrial urgency the U.S. produced tanks and bombers in World War II, Brown writes, we could generate 3 million megawatts of wind power by 2020, enough to meet 40% of the world's energy needs. Solar thermal, plug-in hybrid and geothermal technology are all part...
Technology has gotten us into the climate change mess, and we assume that technology will get us out of it. Hybrid cars, wind turbines, algae biofuel - businesses and policymakers alike are searching for the technological fixes that will decarbonize our lives. But the deeper problem may be how - and where - we live our lives. The dominant pattern of development in America - large houses and sprawling, auto-dependent suburbs - requires a heavy input of fossil fuels and an output of carbon emissions. The adoption of cleaner technologies will take us part of the way, but what we really need...
...creative number of the night. “Stay With You,” choreographed by Adrian A. Diamond ’11 (a freshman—watch out for this one!), dramatized a child’s fantasy of her toys coming alive while she sleeps.

...assist. His coast-to-coast layup at the 17:22 mark of the second half brought the Harvard within 10 at 46-36 and brought the crowd back into the game. Up 53-49 with 12 minutes left, a missed layup and a series of unproductive possessions took the wind out of the Crimson’s sails. Two Vermont layups and a dunk later, Harvard was down again, twice ensnared in an unexpected full-court press. Trimboli and Timothry McCrory each contributed six points to the 12-2 run from which Harvard never recovered. BOARD SCORES If one facet...
...you’ve ever spoken to a Chicagoan about his hometown, you probably already know the answer: we love ourselves. The breeze coming off Lake Michigan might not be as strong as the one felt on the shores of the Charles, but the wind coming out of our mouths can blow anyone away. Chicago has a long and proud history of, well, being proud of itself, and it’s a tradition that Chicagoans of today proudly carry...
