That's why experiments now going on in laboratories around the world are so important. At a research center outside Stuttgart, Germany, engineers at DaimlerChrysler have created a high-performance car whose tail pipe emits nothing but water vapor. In a giant wind tunnel at NASA's Ames Research Center in California, engineers are set to analyze air turbulence in order to make superefficient wind-power turbines. In Japan scientists are perfecting paper-thin solar cells that will be cheap to produce and could turn every house into its own electricity supplier. These ventures, along with many others, are beginning...
Ideally, the hydrogen would be produced sustainably with renewable electricity from the sun or wind. But even under the most optimistic predictions for improvements in renewable technology, the electricity required to split H2O into H and O would be prohibitively expensive. So the first large-scale plants will probably wrest hydrogen from old-fashioned fossil fuels...
...wind was rather erratic, as both the direction and velocity were always changing," Bischoff said. "After the first couple of races, we realized that it would basically be a duel against Tufts...
According to Johnson, all the best facilities combined can accommodate just a few thousand of those sick kids per day. So what happens to the rest? Many of those who can't stay home or go to work with a parent wind up with a helpful friend or relative. And while it's tough to sneak even mildly ill babies and toddlers into day care, every parent knows a little cough suppressant and Tylenol can work wonders for school-age children. Worst of all, thousands of older sick kids stay home alone...
...fixed by the Nation of Islam. Most convincing characterization: the drowning-in-slime, Mob-controlled world of big-time boxing circa 1960. Most vexing question: why anyone would commit a sentence like this one, typical in every way but its brevity: "What remained was epilogue and epitaph, chords like wind of death-song, of threnody." Uh, yeah...
