If they let excess water flow over spillways this could raise nitrogen levels in the water, harming fish. So instead, they will turn off the wind turbines. If we had a grid that allowed large [...] The US prepares a studied and rational response to the Libya revolt Hillary is threatening about how ‘nothing is off the table’ in Libya, even as the rebels say they don’t want outside help. But protestations of the provincials on the ground has never deterred the US from doing something spectacularily stupid and ill-advised. [...] Jesus said it would be hard for the rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. But that’s the billionaires, right, surely not us?
