'Mine's bigger' Me on Hannity & Colmes	David Roberts	22 Dec 2007	Gristmill
Here I am on Hannity & Colmes, 21 Dec. 2007. Mark Steyn was sitting in for Sean Hannity. The other guest is Chris Horner of CEI. There's some satisfaction in taking shots at Horner and CEI. God knows they get off too easy most of the time. And watching Horner bumble around and make no sense is fun.He called me an 'alarmist' and decried ad hominem attacks in the same sentence.In a discussion of whether there's a scientific consensus, you are not allowed ...

Watch more Fox News! FutureGen on at 5:00 p.m. Central, tonight	Sean Casten	17 Dec 2007	Gristmill
Fox News is doing a special report on the FutureGen project and -- rather remarkably -- couldn't find anyone to argue that $6500/kW coal-fired power coupled to a hydrogen plant is a dumb idea. Then along came Grist, and this crazy blogger who thinks FutureGen is dopey. The interview was last Friday; they're running the coverage tonight, in advance of tomorrow's decision on whether Illinois or Texas will 'win.' (Nice plug for Grist here, eh? Apparently, nowhere else ...

Do you wake up every morning eager to read Dave's latest on the evils of coal? His smackdowns of public figures who dare to flout environmental common sense? His hot Senate liveblogging action? His easily digestible distillations of PDFs? His amusing quotes by flacks and hacks? Then please: donate to Grist now. If Gristmill is your lifeline to the green political scene, if you turn to us to get your day's dose of eco-wonkery, if you like watching Philpott duke it o ...

Help us get our Umbra back	David Roberts	03 Dec 2007	Gristmill
So I'm getting ready to make my Christmas wreath and I'm wondering whether there's someplace I can get organic pine cones and I go to check it out with my No. 1 eco-tipper Umbra and OMFG SHE'S BEEN KIDNAPPED! That's right, they've absconded with Umbra. Yes ... they. Word has it they're making her eat from styrofoam and throw bottles in the trash. They're even threatening to make her write her next column on the benefits of liquid coal! For the love of God, don't let i ...

Agritourism: not just for Italy anymore The NYT gets its hands dirty	Tom Philpott	26 Nov 2007	Gristmill
In Italy and France, people don't love small farms just for the delicious food they produce. They also prize them for their looks -- small-scale diversified agriculture is pleasing to the senses. So city dwellers often head out to the country on the weekend and hang out on farms, and support them with their tourist dollars. Last week, Emily Biuso of The New York Times ran a good piece about how agritourism is slowly catching on in the United States. I direct you to ...

CNN on Grist's climate forum Wherein I joke about John Edwards' hair	David Roberts	19 Nov 2007	Gristmill
CNN did a short segment on our presidential climate forum and the difficulty of raising the issue's political profile. It's actually a fairly astute piece. I appear toward the end.

Success	David Roberts	18 Nov 2007	Gristmill
The Grist presidential forum on climate and energy went off without a hitch and was a huge success. I'll have much more to say about it tomorrow, but for now I just want to thank, again, all the groups that worked to bring it together, the wonder-working production crew at the venue, and the candidates who participated. As for me, the adrenaline from the event has worn off, but the subsequent alcohol intake has not, so I believe I'll go to bed. More later.

Shameless self-promotion RED positioned to fund $1.5 billion of recycled energy projects	Sean Casten	16 Nov 2007	Gristmill
While humility makes it awkward for me to be posting this, David said it would be OK. (I swear!) More seriously, this is a day of great pride at RED and I wanted to share a bit with you -- and perhaps explain the lack of time I've had for more insightful posts lately. We've just completed a pretty substantial equity raise, with funds available to invest in recycled energy projects that convert waste heat to power. The target for our investments are places where ...

Global warming and America's energy future Grist to sponsor first presidential candidate climate and energy forum	Grist	14 Nov 2007	Gristmill

We're pleased as punch to let you know that NBC's Today show has invited Grist to be part of its special 'Ends of the Earth' environmental coverage the week of Nov. 5.

Substance Grist gives you what the rest of the media doesn't; how about sending Grist a few ducats?	David Roberts	30 Oct 2007	Gristmill
The blogs are abuzz over this depressing new Shorenstein study of media campaign coverage: In all, 63% of the campaign stories focused on political and tactical aspects of the campaign. That is nearly four times the number of stories about the personal backgrounds of the candidates (17%) or the candidates' ideas and policy proposals (15%). And just 1% of stories examined the candidates' records or past public performance, the study found. The press' fo ...

Me in Fast Company	David Roberts	29 Oct 2007	Gristmill
I don't think I've mentioned it here, but I've got a monthly column on green business in the print edition of Fast Company. I wasn't sure whether they put it up for free online, but it appears they do: my column from the November edition is right here. It is a piece of craven corporatist capitulating to The Man, by which I mean it's a qualified defense of carbon offsets. Give 'er a read.

Our hero Grist maximum leader Chip Giller lights up the pages of Time	David Roberts	19 Oct 2007	Gristmill
Laugh, or the planet gets it. Photo: John Clark, TIME. The cover story in TIME magazine's international edition this week is "Heroes of the Environment." Lots of good stuff to browse through, but around here we're particularly fond of #28: Environmentalists are the people you want to avoid at a party. Trust me -- I'm one of them. Get cornered and you'll hear about how the polar bears on the Arctic ice cap are doomed, and it's all your fault. We'l ...

Seattle Grist Reader Party -- go get your tickets!	David Roberts	16 Oct 2007	Gristmill
Hey, lemme guess, you got busy with other stuff and forgot to buy your ticket to the Grist Seattle Reader Party, which is taking place (whaaat?) tomorrow. Go get 'em, quick! They're $20 now, but if you wait and buy them at the door they're $25. That's another whole drink you could have had. See you there.

Cool kids carpool Find a ride to our reader party!	Sarah van Schagen	10 Oct 2007	Gristmill
Heard the hype about Grist's hometown throw-down and purchased your ticket, but haven't quite figured out what to wear how you're gettin' there? You're not alone. Grist reader Diana from Olympia, Wash., wrote to us asking if anyone else from her area might be carpooling, and we thought to ourselves: selves, might there be others hoping to hitch a ride so as not to arrive at an awesomely organic eco-party via single-person carbon-mobile? Thankfully, we've got ...

Me, elsewhere	David Roberts	10 Oct 2007	Gristmill
Two things I wrote yesterday are now up on other sites. Over at the Guardian's opinion site, I've got a piece on Obama's new energy plan. (Wow, the comments are really awful over there.) Over at TPM Cafe, I'm taking part in a "book club" roundtable on S&N's new book Break Through (heard of it?). While my comments here on Grist focused on the policy angle, over there I'm addressing the political story. Here's a taste: Environmentalism is not dead. It ...

Party with us in our hometown On Oct. 17, Grist is throwing a bash in Seattle -- you're invited	David Roberts	03 Oct 2007	Gristmill
Our reader parties in San Francisco and Washington, D.C., are the stuff of legend, but they've caused our hometown peeps to struggle with some rejection issues. Why all this jet-setting across the country and no love for the Emerald City? We heard your cries, hometown peeps. So we're having a blowout right here in Seattle -- and you're invited! Good food, good booze, good conversation ... and if a few of you single greenies don't go home and get freaky, we'll consi ...

Thanks, all! Shout-out to Grist donors	Trina Stout	20 Sep 2007	Gristmill
Grist reader, donor, and prize-winner (See? We really do give that stuff away!) Irvin Smith of Rochester Hills, Mich., sent in this adorable photo of his son and nieces eating ice cream out of the ice-cream maker he won. A big, public Grist thanks to Irvin. As I was looking at the photo, I thought to myself: Self, what a fabulous opportunity to give props to all our wonderful donors. So thank you, Grist donors! We are but a humble nonprofit, and without your generosit ...

Me on the radio Talking to Bill Scher	David Roberts	17 Sep 2007	Gristmill
I was on Bill Scher's radio program on Saturday for about 20 minutes. It was broadcast on WHMP-AM in western Mass.; you can listen to the podcast here. Or if you like, you can watch Bill talking to me: One amendment, for those who actually listen to the whole thing: I praised renewable portfolio standards for being 'technology neutral' in that they don't dictate what 'non-fossil' energy has to fill the quota. That's not quite right. As I add later, a good, ge ...

In the newzzz ... Tell us what to call our new news section	David Roberts	12 Sep 2007	Gristmill
Our sharp-eyed readers will have noticed changes in Grist's news section. Used to be, we had the Daily Grist: five (or so) news blurbs, sent out via email and published in the eponymous section of the site. Only five blurbs? you ask incredulously. Published once a day? That's not very internety! We know. Thus the changes. The Daily Grist still exists, but only as an email. On the website, it has been replaced with a new and more active news section, creatively title ...
