Here also are some articles to check out:
- Bill McKibbon in the Sierra Club magazine on energy alternatives. His main point seems to be that most magic energy solutions like hydrogen cells and ethanol are economically unfeasible, and would save as much energy as just a little bit of organized conservation.
- A great article in Mother Jones by Dennis Gaffney on "hypermilers," a group of nutty guys who are obsessed with squeezing the absolute most out of a tank of gas, and who enter competitions to test the limits. As fanatical as they are, there's a bunch of handy tips in there that I wish everybody would utilize... like all the freakin' idiots who sit idling in McDonald's drive-thrus.
Of course, I also finally watched "Super-Size Me" last week, so that raises a whole other thing... - A blog post on Sen. Inhofe's parting shots at the environment and, y'know, people who like the environment.
- John F. Borowski on the National Science Teachers Association's refusal to distribute "An Inconvenient Truth."
- Robert Bryce on "The Ongoing Myth of Energy Independence."
