  • How I Spent My Summer Tax Vacation

    We need higher gas taxes, not lower taxes.  I'm glad to see that there is one candidate, B. Obama, who is an actual leader rather than a panderer.  Shame on McCain and Hillary.

  • Not terrorism

    Please don't help the anti enviros with the term eco-terrorism.  The digusting enviromentally polluting vandalism isn't terrorism.  The terror handle helps give the Deptartment of Homeland Stupidity more reasons to wiretap and snopte the e-mail lists all environmental organizations.On 'Eco-terrorism' suspected in Seattle-area arson posted 1 year, 9 months ago 80 Responses

  • Nader responsible for the Bush disaster

    Just like Ross Perot allowed Bill Clinton to beat the Elder Busn, Nader allowed the idiot Bush to beat Al Gore.  What a disaster we have had for 7 years!  Go away Ralph!On Ralph Nader jumps into the presidential race posted 1 year, 9 months ago 31 Responses

  • Orbit Torrent

    The apace power station idea is a waste of money and a diversion from the real work of about $1 triilion of needed energy efficiency projects in the next ten year in the USA.  It costs something like $10,000 per pound to put stuff in orbit, but it is much cheaper to have four times as many square feet panels on Earth.   Don't forget the pollution of the rocket fuel in the atmosphere, not a big problem with present day space flights but unacceptable with many thousands of tons of sattelites put in orbit (and hundreds of thousands of tons of rockets to put the material in orbit.)  And who wants microwaves beaming down on them?

  • Cool Runnings

    Regards:

    "Charles County, Md., is poised to be the first area in the U.S. to use treated sewage to cool down power-plant towers."

    Sorry, but it is old news for the Metcalf plant near San Jose Ca.

    "The primary source of cooling water for the plant is recycled water supplied by the South Bay Water Recycling Program (SBWR), which obtains its water from the San Jose/Santa Clara Water Pollution Control Plant (WPCP)....."
