Julieclipse, one of my best friends, died on 11 July. Stopping Iff was not at all in her spirit, but I couldn’t be bothered to think about it for a while. Now it’s back.

I agree. Modern nuclear plants are extremely safe and efficient. Yes, we don’t have a good place to put the toxic waste, but we don’t have a good place to put any toxic waste; it sure beats coal. I think “in Yucca Mountain” is a better idea than “in the air”.
Furthermore, the governor of California wants solar panels on roofs: “A battery of industry, environment, public-interest, and religious groups have thrown their weight behind the legislation, ranging from Shell Oil to the American Lung Association to a statewide coalition of nearly 300 churches. Robert Redford, Edward Norton, and other celebrity greens are also enthusiastically endorsing the effort.”

“Ecological fallout from economic development is in no way an ‘externality’ as the economic jargon has it; it is a positive depletion of real wealth, of human and natural capital. To seek to have economy without ecology is to try to manage an environment with no knowledge or concern about how it works in itself – to try to formulate human laws in abstraction from or ignorance of the laws of nature.”

“General Motors paid Chumbawamba $100,000 to use their song Pass it Along for a Pontiac Vibe television advertisement in 2002. Chumbawamba then gave the money to the anti-corporate activist groups IndyMedia and CorpWatch.”
I heard about them from Julieclipse.
