Mileage from megawatts

A new study finds that "off-peak" electricity production and transmission capacity could fuel 84 percent of the country's 220 million vehicles if they were plug-in hybrid electrics. This is the first review of what the impacts would be of very high market penetrations of PHEVs. Researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory also evaluated the impact of PHEVs, on foreign oil imports, the environment, electric utilities and the consumer.

3. Aurora Borealis breaks new grounds -- and old ice
   11-30-2007 · EurekAlert!
   It can crush ice sideways and stay precisely on station to an accuracy of a metre. It can drill a hole 1,000 meters deep into the seabed while floating above 5,000 meters of ocean and it can generate 55 megawatts of power. So far, Aurora Borealis is the most unusual ship that has never been built, and it represents a floating laboratory for European science, a breakthrough for polar research and a very big headache for international lawyers.

4. Vigorous exercise keeps people thin with age
   05-03-2007 · EurekAlert!
   People who maintain a vigorously active lifestyle as they age gain less weight than people who exercise at more moderate levels, according to a Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory study that tracked a large group of runners who kept the same exercise regimen as they grew older. The study, in the journal Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, followed 6,119 men and 2,221 women who maintained their weekly running mileage over a seven-year period.
