the Good earth news

Barry Commoner died, an environmentalist who proved atomic fallout was depositing radioactive materials in babies teeth.  This led to the nuclear test ban treaty, convincing all the nuclear powers to sign.  Science before the GOP went brain dead was much easier.  

Monday the Supreme Court decided not to hear a case brought by Wyoming to vacate the roadless rule in national forests.  The lower courts decision to uphold the law now stands.  Sorry industry, walk in or stay out.
North America hit by a shit load of valuable sunlight, again today.  Solar power is a no brainer. If you look at this map you see free energy is raining on us all day, especially the Southwest.  Consider that Germany now gets half of it's weekend day time power from this source, foggy Germany, which receives sunlight about like north Michigan.  It is possible, and it will happen, some time soon the will will prevail and we will step over the fossil fuel supporters on the way to a clean cheaper future.
