Thanks to technological advances, in the past few years, vast amounts of natural gas -- particularly shale gas -- have become economically viable. This development is an unmitigated boon for consumers interested in affordable energy and for governments hoping to reduce their countries' dependency on foreign oil.

This NYT article describes a ten year plan to fund neuroscience research that is analogous (in terms of scope) to the human genome project. This article could be used in conjunction with technology discussions (like Kurzweil), aging (lots of implications for alzheimers, etc.), and/or role of governance (establishing long-term goals, funding, etc.)

Coal combustion is the largest source of carbon dioxide emissions on the planet. But the fuel isn't going away anytime soon, since demand for it is ballooning in the developing world. So instead of indulging in quixotic visions of a coal-free world, policymakers should focus on supporting new technologies that can reduce how much carbon coal emits.
