Coal-burning Bush		23 Jan 2002	Daily Grist
Coal-burning Bush In other mining news, President Bush did not mince words about his energy plan during an address in the town of Belle, W.Va., yesterday: "We need to use coal. We got a lot of it," he said. The president touted exploitation of domestic coal and other traditional energy resources as a way to avoid dependence on foreign oil and jumpstart a flagging ec ...

Retirement Party Utah Republican Jim Hansen, who has served 11 terms in the U.S. House, most recently as chair of the Resources Committee, announced yesterday that he will not seek reelection this year.

I Want You ... To Buy More Stuff! Gluttony at home is not necessary for victory abroad	Jane Holtz Kay	14 Dec 2001	Soapbox
My grandmother, the family provider in World War II's market of scarcity, pleaded -- or was it flirted? -- with the butcher for meat. My father, who couldn't hit his hat with a hammer, volunteered for military service and wound up in Boston army ordinance helping "our boys" make munitions. On "the home front," my mother taught my sister and me to paste savings ...

Buy, Buy, Miss American Pie Everything's changed, including zero-down financing	David Helvarg	14 Dec 2001	Soapbox
Hey fellow Americans, now that bio-terrorism, federalized airport security, and military star-chambers are becoming a reality, what do you plan to do? Me, I'm going to Disneyland. Okay, maybe not Disneyland, but I have been to New York, Montana, and Oregon recently -- and by plane. I'm also thinking about buying a new computer. I just don't think that makes me a patriot. Which is why ...

Steal These Books A review of Affluenza and Red	Elizabeth Grossman	14 Dec 2001	Arts and Minds
There's been a tendency since Sept. 11 to reconsider everything in light of that horrific tragedy. I've tried to resist that inclination, but I had read both Affluenza and Red before that day and could not ignore the way the attacks highlighted the importance of the books' divergent subject matters: our desire for the good life, which has made us the greatest consumers on earth; and the need to protect the wild pla ...

Deck the Halls with CFLs Now that's a reason to be jolly	Elizabeth Sawin	14 Dec 2001	Global Citizen
This holiday season, we're bombing Afghanistan, and perhaps contributing to mass starvation there. We stand apart from the rest of the world on climate change, ignoring the melting ice at the North Pole and rising global temperatures. As if the killing and bombing and starving weren't bad enough, we're not just at war with other people: We're trying to fight the entire biosphere. A light message. Photo: ArtTo ...

Interior's Ulterior Motive Behind the scenes at the Bush administration's renewable energy summit	Amanda Scott	07 Dec 2001	Main Dish

Patriot Games		13 Nov 2001	Daily Grist
Patriot Games When America entered World War II, the folks at home reduced, reused, and recycled in the name of patriotism. Now, as we enter a new war, it's time to do the same, says David Hochschild, coordinator of San Francisco's successful solar power initiative, in an op-ed co-authored by his mother, well-known writer Arlie Hochschild. Because our leaders won't wean us off our dangerous oil habit, the Hochschilds argue, ...
