Dear NASCAR: Get a Clue!
It's time for NASCAR to pull a U-turn. Leadership needs to get on board the green express and point NASCAR in the direction of sustainable, renewable auto sports.

If President-elect Obama is truly serious about affecting climate change... then we must end the appointment of coal and other extraction industry executives.
Obama recognizes something those cynics may not: that the path to economic stability leads right through global warming solutions.
It is stunning to see an accurate and honest assessment of what our continued reliance on coal would mean: a crime against the climate. And clean coal? A 50 percent increase in electricity rates.
Bye bye MIchigan, hello California: The House Democrats have finally cleared some old spare parts out of the way in anticipation of President Obama's agenda.
The management of GM doesn't deserve to be bailed out, and it's not clear to me that a bailout would work -- certainly not as long as the company continues its "change as slowly as possible" pace.
It's so easy to be cynical about the state of education in the U.S. that to meet five smart, winsome teenagers who say things like "We are One" is nothing short of Obama-worthy inspiration.
I spoke with Laura D'Andrea Tyson, a top economic adviser on Obama's transition team who headed Clinton's Council of Economic Advisors, about the need for a "green stimulus."
Obama's administration will ground its energy and climate policy with a regard for science, as well as the broad spectrum of domestic issues that fall under the umbrella of climate and energy.
President Bush has left a regulatory wasteland in his wake these last eight years, and it won't be easy for President Obama to undo all of the Bush ro...
Never mind the recent decline in oil prices from their record highs. The age of cheap oil is over. And it will not return.
Sarah Palin sounds authentic while lying through her teeth, seems decent while saying indecent things. And that, of course, is why the GOP faithful love her.
This is victory for the public interest in passing strong global warming legislation over the self-interest of protecting an inflexible seniority system for key congressional posts.
Why is a sudden increase in atmospheric methane particularly frightening? The standard assumption until now has been: control global warming by turning off the human spigot.

Cap N' Trade is Bullshit. If I sell the rights to not break into my neighbors house to a burglar it creates a secondary market in burglary credits that helps the economy and generates fees. I make money, the burglar that buys them gets an extra house to break into and the cost of breaking and entering goes up, so there is less of it. Will someone please use the reply space to explain how breaking into people's lungs with pollution is different than breaking into your neighbor's house?
how about 700B$
public works or war.
The only two ways out of this depression.
I just don't see the point of cap and trade, seems like a lot of overhead and room for obfuscation compared to a straightforward carbon tax. But I guess "tax" is the shortest 4-letter word in Washington.
cap and trade is a scam. not unlike indulgences of the middle ages.
