Glenn Beck's Bizarre Outburst Against Meatless Mondays and Vegetarians
This goes along with the story that I posted in 4.0 about Meatless Mondays in Baltimore schools Jon Stewart ended an interview with climate-change contrarian and Super Freakonomics co-author Steven Levitt on Monday night by noting, "I've apparently frightened our audience by suggesting that conservation isn't the only way out of any of the problems of the world. I sincerely apologize." He added, "And I do also believe that we should just eat vegetables."Floating house could ride New Orleans’ floods
A house capable of floating atop rising floodwaters made its debut Tuesday in New Orleans alongside more than a dozen other homes built through actor Brad Pitt’s Make It Right Foundation.

There's Plenty of Energy at the Bottom (on of those must read articles IMHO)
There's Plenty of Energy at the Bottom By William Tucker On December 29, 1959, on the threshold of the 1960s, Richard Feynman, "the best mind since Einstein" and interpreter of quantum mechanics, gave a lecture at the California Institute of Technology that is generally regarded to be the opening bell of the Information Age. It was titled, "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom." "There is a device on the market, they tell me, that can write the Lord's Prayer on the head of a pin," Feynman began.NJ weighs bill to encourage alternative energy on farms
NJ weighs bill to encourage alternative energy on farms By TOM HESTER Jr. Published: Sunday, June 15, 2008, the Press of Atlantic City http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/190/story/183230.html For centuries, farming has involved plowing the fields and tending to livestock.

New Jersey is contemplating defining solar and wind energy generation as agricultural activity.Subsidizing The Idea But Not The Plan. Hmm?
Ever since a mass transit friendly President hit the stage the argument has been but cost cost cost Mr. President. We can't afford it. Well there's something screwy going on and I don't like it.Somebody's Thinking Ahead
Israel touts some of the world’s best solar technology advances, but its Middle East neighbor Dubai, says it is planning to set up the region’s largest solar energy manufacturing plant. They are expected to start producing by the last quarter in 2010, and will manufacture photovoltaic panels that can generate 130 megawatts of power annually. The building plans call for a 1 million square foot plant, with solar panels to be produced as big as 5.7sqm.Eco-sailors rescued by oil tanker (BBC NEWS)

Is Obama Delaying Economic Recovery? By Peter Ferrara By now, the current recession is officially the longest since World War II. The National Bureau of Economic Research dates the recession as starting some time during December, 2007.You've Got to Have Heartland
You've Got to Have Heartland By Peter Ferrara The chief source of hysteria over possible man-made global warming has been the United Nations and its Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The panel's own climate models project that if man's emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases were causing global warming, there would be a particular pattern of temperature distribution in the atmosphere, which scientists call "the fingerprint." Temperatures in the troposphere portion of the atmosphere above the tropics would increase with altitude, producing a "hotspot" near the top of the troposphere, about 6 miles above the earth's surface.
