good news!

Gas Prices Demystified. Why you're paying so much, and why you could soon be paying less.
Just don't expect to see any dramatic price drops until well after the summer driving season, MacIntyre warns. "We expect gas prices to increase and peak nationally somewhere around $3.50 a gallon," he says. But consumers could see some relief by the end of 2008 and into 2009 as new production comes online.
Dakota oil: Persia on the Plains?
Experts figure it will yield 270 million to 500 billion barrels of oil over its lifetime, which could make the roughly 60 billion barrels of oil of the famed North Slope of Alaska look like a child's mud puddle.
Genomics: Our oil-crunch cure?
Looking back at this period a decade from now, we may well look at the advent of synthetic biology and genomics in the same way we look at the early days of the computer revolution, when kids at Harvard, MIT and Stanford were assembling the building blocks of the sort of software, hardware and networking power that we now take for granted. Only this time, the kids are creating energy and life, not just Pong, spreadsheets and e-mail.
