<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Once a year, the press notices that politics is bad for the environment]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by caniscandida http://www.grist.org/article/shooting-fish-in-barrels-for-earth-day/ Sat, 21 Apr 2007 17:35:09 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/shooting-fish-in-barrels-for-earth-day/1 not bad, it's on the front page

Not that the Saturday paper is necessarily all that widely read.  My guess is this article had been mostly written for some time, and the WashPost was holding it for the Earth Day weekend.  Today's paper would of course have been better than yesterday's, but still, that they ran it on the front page is not bad.

Robert Byrd must surely be the most frustratingly unpredictable Democrat in DC.  He can say such excellent things on some issues, e.g. in deploring the impeachment of Bill Clinton, and in challenging George W. Bush during the run-up to the invasion of Iraq; but he can be so abominably disappointing on others.

Chickens are our cousins! So are other sensitive animals! Enough is enough! No more factory farms!

Switch that power plant to solid oxide fuel cell/turbine running on biogas from waste.  Plenty of that All the wasted food alone from 500 dollar lobbyist  funded lunches would do it.

And put a floating wind/wave power installation offshore to provide most off the power the coal used to.

That would be radical.
