A World Alert

This is a disturbing article about “a yearlong experiment with America’s electric grid [that] “could mess up traffic lights, security systems and some computers -  and make plug-in clocks and appliances like programmable coffemakers run up to 2 minutes fast.”  The test could cause Est Coast clocks to run as much as 20 minutes fast over a year while West Coast clocks are likely to be off by 8 minutes; and Texas clocks will experience a 2 minute speedup.

It points out that one company, North American Electric Reliability Corp. “runs the nation’s interlocking web of transmission lines and power plants.”… Continue Reading

With the defeat of the Murkowski Resolution  the ability of the EPA to regulate greenhouse gases has been upheld.  Therefore, there is absolutely no need for the comprehensive climate/energy bill being promoted by Senators Kerry and Lieberman.See the excellent analysis by Rosalind Peterson of Agriculture Defense Coalition and the attached poster we took to every Senate office in January.
