Until last month, American hybrid car manufacturers could rest assured that, if nothing else, the nation’s market for the vehicles at least exceeded Japan’s. 
Australia is attempting a remarkable feat: the creation of a seawater desalination plant powered completely by energy bought from renewable energy suppliers (i.e. wind, solar, and geothermal). Given the continent’s water shortage and the global push for clean energy, the plant will, in some ways, be quite an accomplishment. Yet, given the “un-greenness” of traditional desal facilities (which guzzle energy and water and harm nearby wildlife), it could also be something akin to putting lipstick on a pig. Skeptics wonder: will the plant live up to people’s expectations?

In 1965 Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, wrote a paper on a phenomenon he noticed in the transistor industry: the number of transistors that could fit on an integrated circuit, or microchip, doubled about every two years, leading to exponential growth in speed and power. This rule of thumb, now known as Moore’s Law, has been remarkably resilient in the decades since.
