...DeAngelis says, referring to the high school seniors who staged the Columbine attacks. Instead, the school opened the floor of the library where most of the students were murdered to create an atrium above the cafeteria. The school built an extension housing a new library, which features a 250-gallon saltwater fish tank that mental health professionals advised would have a calming effect on some students. That's also partly why the sterile grayness of some hallways was painted over with tranquil pastel colors. And that's also why the blaring fire alarm was replaced with one DeAngelis likens...
...production reaching 15 million within 20 years. That is three times the rate at which Tata plans to introduce its no-frills vehicle. Furthermore, Model T fuel consumption averaged 15 miles per gallon—better than a Hummer—while the Nano can boast 50 miles per gallon. And when it comes to the bottom line, there’s no contest: the ‘affordable’ Model T ran the typical turn-of-the-century buyer under $20,000 in 2007 dollars, almost 10 times as much as the Nano costs. This begs the question...
Ratan Tata emphasized that the new car complies with India's emissions laws and even with Europe's much stronger Euro 4 standards. Emissions, Tata says, are "lower than a scooter's today". The company claims the car will also deliver 50 miles per gallon, or better than 20 kilometers per liter, which would make it one of India's most efficient vehicles, and vastly more efficient than the average in the U.S. Chief U.N. climate scientist Rajendra Pachauri, who shared last year's Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore, said recently that he was "having nightmares" about...

Should the Iranians ever find themselves in a position to close it, Americans would pay for a gallon of gas - what, $10? It's no wonder that Iran's Revolutionary Guards decided on Hormuz to draw a line in the sand...
...senior fellow at Environmental Defense. But unlike past eras of high-altitude oil prices, caused by short-term disruptions in supply, today there are simply more countries demanding more oil than ever before, and that's unlikely to change soon. Gasoline prices lag behind oil in the U.S. - a gallon currently goes for an average of $3.05 nationwide - but analysts predict that gas could pass $4 a gallon by the spring...
