Natural gas will play a leading role in reducing greenhouse-gas emissions over the next several decades, largely by replacing older, inefficient coal plants with highly efficient combined-cycle gas generation, according to a major new interim report out from MIT. The first two reports dealt with nuclear power (2003) and coal (2007).

The team used the lead particles’ isotopic signature to trace some of the lead’s origins to coal and metal ore found only in Asia. “ In Asia, for example, mineral dust and other sources of lead such as coal and metal ore have particularly high proportions of 208Pb, the isotope that forms from radioactive decay of thorium.

Obama noted that last year, US oil production reached its highest level since 2003 and that for the first time in more than a decade, imported oil accounted for less than half the liquid fuel consumed. We have to discover and produce cleaner, renewable sources of energy with less of the carbon pollution that threatens our climate.
