...soon we reach an era of clean, inexhaustible energy depends on technology. Solar and wind energies are intermittent: when the sky is cloudy or the breeze dies down, fossil fuel or nuclear plants must kick in to compensate. But scientists are working on better ways to store electricity from renewable sources. Current from wind, solar or geothermal energy can be used to extract hydrogen from water molecules.

"They're being asked to do things that they're very poor at," Papolos says, "and it's a blow to their self-esteem." If school doesn't kick the disorder into overdrive, puberty often does, with its rush of hormones that rattle even the steadiest preteen mind...
