That and the problems in the Middle East are two good
reasons for the United States to start cutting its
dependence on oil – theirs or ours – and start
focusing on solar power, wind power and anything else
that can save the planet and wallets in the long run.



*And speaking of the environment….
Here’s a link to another Christian Science Monitor
article on what western states are doing to curb
greenhouse gases:

Florida is also starting to make strides. States are
way ahead of the Bush Administration (as usual) on
this issue.


*New Orleans has key to newspaper survival?
Maybe this is the formula to rebuild newspapers across
the country:

No, not to have a major disaster, but to get back to
brass tacks: Good journalism, good journalism, good
journalism. That’s the best way to get readers and viewers.
