  Excellent series

  Thanks for linking to this excellent series of articles.  The southwest is my favorite part of the country, visually, yet I know it is poisoned by mining, much of the land is chewed to bits by ORVs, amongst other problems.  

  I just heard the Udall cousins discussing energy issues on CSPAN and Tom Udall, when asked about nuclear energy, said that our two areas of concern were what to do with the waste, and nuclear proliferation.  I think he forgot something.On It's depressing. posted 2 years, 11 months ago 4 Responses

  Coal article

  on the front page of the Business pages of The New York Times last week, 7/5.  It included a map of the coal reserves in the US and it was frightening how vast they are.  I have read that sequestration is not very secure; gas can escape and kill people, in fact has done so.On Coal gasification posted 3 years, 4 months ago 13 Responses

  Question

  How does this relate to the Apollo Alliance?

  The Sierra Club seems to be doing a good job of building coalitions; I heard someone from a hunting group, I think, say on NPR that the Sierra Club has strongly reached out to hunters and anglers.  Too bad NRDC spends its time and wastes its good name reaching out to Big Oil (I had to get that in).On Sierra Club hooks up with steelworkers union posted 3 years, 5 months ago 3 Responses

  Yes

  Farmers' markets are great.  Last year, when I was buying broccoli, I could ask the farmer about his pesticides and he gave me a thorough explanation.  I could see that he was hesitant to tell me at first, but he did.  Since I don't buy organic broccoli because of the larvae that hide in them, it worked out for us both.

  Milwaukee now has lots of farmers' markets, including a large one in the inner city.  Some of the farmers are Hmong immigrants and seem to be doing well.  We could use more organic farmers, however, in spite of the fact that Wisconsin has the second highest number; perhaps they all go to Madison, which has a huge market, famous I believe.
