		Claire confides in Betty (Marianne Faithful), a student in one of her acting classes, and Jay covertly befriends Claire’s husband, but what comes out of these conversations is less revealing and certainly less distinctive than what’s gone before.
		Jay and Claire’s flirtation with self-annihilation is the stuff of many modern movies, more fashionable and in some ways less challenging than its positive counterpart.

		That experience was particularly helpful on their mission when an antenna on the observatory would not swing open, prompting Ross and Apt to don suits for an emergency spacewalk to fix the problem.
		Apt -- who still lectures on spaceflight and is a senior manager with the venture capital firm iNetworks, LLC -- likened Ross' abilities to those of another legendary spacewalker, Story Musgrave, saying that they both could always determine the best way to get things done.
		The only problem with Ross as far as Apt is concerned: "He can't be counted on to down his share of shrimp or crawfish.

	ES&T Online News: High-tech coal energy cheaper than Texas wind power
		The analysis, conducted by Katrina Dobesova from the University of Economics, Prague, and Jay Apt and Lester Lave from Carnegie Mellon University’s Electricity Industry Center, examined the cost of renewable power in Texas, the U.S.’s largest power producer.
		Other factors that played an important role in their calculations included the federal wind-energy production tax credit for renewable energy, which they calculated as 1.8 ¢/kWh, and the loss of power as it moves along transmission lines from wind turbines typically located far from major cities, which they peg at 0.9 ¢/kWh.
		In the end, Dobesova, Apt, and Lave conclude that an energy policy that is broader than an RPS might provide society with the least expensive, and least polluting, energy source.

	Renewable energy still may be too expensive (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Apt notes that wind blows only part of the time, so wind energy farms must be tied to other production to meet constant customer demand.
		Apt's studies showed wind was more costly than other sources, but those costs could theoretically be lowered to become more competitive if the costs of building turbines drops.
		Another suggestion would be to change the costs by instituting a tax on carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel plants.
