Is Drilling To Blame For Texas Quakes?
I heard this report on NPR this morning and thought it'd be interesting to share. I found another piece (Deep in Bedrock, Clean Energy and Quake Fears ) which I thought I'd share the link to in case anybody is interested. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/24/business/energy-environment/24geotherm.html * by Wade Goodwyn npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=106059425 The 18-hole Cleburne Municipal Golf Course was built in part with money the city received from royalties from natural gas companies that built on city ground.flip flop - to drill or not to drill

WELLINGTON, New Zealand — A beverage company has asked a team to drill through Antarctica's ice for a lost cache of some vintage Scotch whisky that has been on the rocks since a century ago.

Sarah Palin in BusinessWeek
I opened my latest issue of BusinessWeek to find an interview with Sarah Palin that was done just 2 days before she was announced as McCain's VP. Here is the link: http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/content/aug2008/db20080829_272692.htm Some highlights: On drilling in ANWR: "When you talk about ANWR and the area that needs to be unlocked so that we can explore more and develop these billions of barrels of oil, it's a swath of land that's about 2,000 acres in size—and that's out of a 20 million-acre plain that has been set aside. So 2,000 acres, that's like a postage stamp on a football field.FACT CHECK: Palin Goes Rogue on Some Details
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sarah Palin's new book reprises familiar claims from the 2008 presidential campaign that haven't become any truer over time. Ignoring substantial parts of her record if not the facts, she depicts herself as a frugal traveler on the taxpayer's dime, a reformer without ties to powerful interests and a politician roguishly indifferent to high ambition.
Palin goes adrift, at times, on more contemporary issues, too.

Glenn Beck's Bizarre Outburst Against Meatless Mondays and Vegetarians
This goes along with the story that I posted in 4.0 about Meatless Mondays in Baltimore schools Jon Stewart ended an interview with climate-change contrarian and Super Freakonomics co-author Steven Levitt on Monday night by noting, "I've apparently frightened our audience by suggesting that conservation isn't the only way out of any of the problems of the world. I sincerely apologize." He added, "And I do also believe that we should just eat vegetables."
