What is the Iraq war's carbon footprint?
We are updated on a daily basis about the ever mounting human cost of the Iraq war, but even the US military is now starting to ask questions about how much oil the "war over oil" is consuming. Last year, Major General Richard Zilmer sent the Pentagon a "priority one" request from Iraq for "a self-sustainable energy solution" that would include "solar panels and wind turbines". The US military's carbon footprint was not his concern - rather, that "by reducing the need for [petrol] at our outlying bases, we can decrease the frequency of logistics convoys on the road, thereby reducing the danger to our marines, soldiers, and sailors". Amory Lovins, the world-renowned energy consultant, agrees that the US military has a "fat fuel-logistics tail" and believes that this is a "very teachable moment for the military" on reducing its immense fossil fuel consumption.

Colorado can lead the way on warming
Ritter could bomb Colorado back to the stone age and completely and totally destroy our economy by cutting the state's CO2 footprint to 0 and have zero effect on the global climate.2. Coal is our largest energy resource. Cheap reliable energy is the key to economic power and job creation. One of the poor developing counties that you lament is China. China is driving up the global price of coal because they are using so much coal that they must import. So the US will get less competitive and China more competitive with zero effect on Global Warming.3. US hydro power plants over 30MW are not considered renewable and cannot claim CO2 credits. China and other countries around the world are able to sell CO2 offset credits from their large hydropower plants. Again China will be economically enriched by large scale hydro development when the USA is afforded no such opportunity.
Myanmar Voting Dates Win Few Plaudits
The official announcements late Saturday of the constitutional referendum and the election were the first moves by the junta to set dates for stages of its so-called road map to democracy. "The time has now come to change from military rule to democratic civilian rule," said the announcement for the 2010 polls, broadcast on state TV and radio. But critics claim the long-delayed road map is designed to perpetuate military rule, not promote democracy. And at tea shops in Yangon, where morning news and gossip is traditionally exchanged, many seemed unimpressed with the developments. "I am not interested in their referendum because the results are known already," said 48-year old noodle salad seller Mar Mar Aye, echoing the popular belief that the government is confident its constitution will be approved.
Few Businesses, Non-Profits Help Ex-Offenders Work
Pamela Ainsworth had work experience, education and bond insurance when she went job hunting earlier this year. She had been a bartender and waitress before she was sentenced to prison on drug and auto-theft convictions. In a federal prison in Texas, she had a top-paying job, earning $1.15 an hour plus bonuses as a call-center rep for Xcel Energy. While incarcerated for 3 1/2 years, she also learned data entry and accounting. For three months, 33-year-old Ainsworth worked diligently to find employment. She applied at local restaurants, grocery stores, mega-retailers and telemarketers. Even though she was bonded to protect an employer if there is theft, forgery, larceny or embezzlement, Ainsworth wasn't hearing the answer she needed. "It's hard. It's humiliating.
