Submitted by Muslim Blog

CYNICAL SENATOR’S CALL FOR NEW ENERGY
Submitted by New Energy News Blog
Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn) has been among the staunch Republican recalcitrants who have blocked New Energy’s progress at the national level.

In an effort to allay the excessive and growing cost burden of carbon-capture-and-sequestration (aka CCS or “clean” coal), the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) earlier this year dropped out of the FutureGen Alliance plan to build an experimental plant in Mattoon, Illinois. (See DOE DROPPING FUTUREGEN?)

Submitted by Turbulence Training Blog
If a trainer tells you there’s a best way to do interval training, they are wrong.
