		<description><![CDATA[Dear Pablo,
I recently heard a radio ad by a freight train company, claiming that it moves 1 ton of goods 422 miles on 1 gallon of fuel. Can this be true? And how does it compare to my car&#8217;s fuel economy?
The freight company is CSX and its exact claim is, &#8220;Trains can move a ton of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Pablo,
 
My parents are from the typewriter generation and insist on printing every document before they read it. Their argument is that reading it on the computer uses more energy than printing it out and turning the computer off. Is this true?
It certainly depends on the document and how you print it. A one-line [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Pablo,
 
I was excited to hear that Chevy plans to debut an electric car in 2010. But then a discussion with a friend got me thinking: If the electricity used to charge up an electric car is created by burning fossil fuels, is it better to stick with a gas-powered car with good fuel [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s too damn hot to sleep at night! To cool our bedroom on these summer nights, my husband and I can run either three fans or one air conditioner. Which is better for the environment?
Let me first answer the question and then I will discuss some alternatives. Based on additional information from the [...]]]></description>
