POPSCalifornia Businesses Buzzing With Solar Energy Innovations
In the area of green technology, California has a natural leadership role to play, and it appears that a few companies are taking leadership stands in the area of solar energy. The first such company is Solar Reserve, Santa Monica, C. Solar Reserve has a 25 year contract to supply energy to about 75,000 homes by using solar radiation-catching mirrors to heat molten salt to over 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. I have cliped a diagram of the system used by Solar Reserve below, which is one I had not heard of. Another company is First Solar, Blythe, CA. On December 21, 2009, First Solar opened the largest photovoltaic power station in California, which the company plans to replicate in order to expand its utility business. I have clipped a picture of the solar panels being installed under the sweltering heat of California's desert climate. The third company is Solyndra, Fremont, CA, which has recently filed to go public in order to raise $300 million for its specially-designed, fl

POPSSome Indians Find It Tough to Go Home Again 
“It seemed perfect,” he said recently of the job opportunity. It wasn’t. As Mr. Ayyadurai sees it now, his Western business education met India’s notoriously inefficient, opaque government, and things went downhill from there. Within weeks, he and his boss were at loggerheads. Last month, his job offer was withdrawn. Mr. Ayyadurai has moved back to Boston. In recent years, Mother India has welcomed back tens of thousands of former emigrants and their offspring. When he visited the United States this week, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh personally extended an invitation “to all Indian-Americans and nonresident Indians who wish to return home.” But, like Mr. Ayyadurai, many Indians who spent most of their lives in North America and Europe are finding they can’t go home again. About 100,000 “returnees” will move from the United States to India in the next five years, estimates Vivek Wadhwa, a research associate at Harvard University who has studied the topic. These repats, as t

POPSDegree in Shit Shoveling Introduced "We're really exited about the Horse Shit department," said Alex Fowler, Head of Excrement at Derby. "We can now compete with our major rivals, who also offer shit degrees." Michael Smith, who attends Derbyshire college "Joseph Wright", has already sent his application to Derby with UCAS, an online service for higher education enrolment. "It looks quite easy," said Smith, "and, after all, a degree's a degree, right?" Ireland already has lots of horseshit degrees

POPS Economic Stimulation I’m a little late to today’s economic-stimulus exasperation party. Sorry. I was busy working at my unstimulated private-sector job, which uses pulp, ink, trucks, pens, notebooks and a lot of eletronics plus electricity and employs hundreds of taxpayers directly and indirectly to tell people how the hacks are trying to shaft them in Boston. It was great. I enjoyed it. Even though, far from looking for or getting any support, we’ve had to fight the government over simple things like the freedom to enter business relationships with other news organizations that might have made us more financially viable. Thank you, Ted Kennedy, liberal lion.

POPSGore & Ban Ki-Moon Push CEOs to Back Climate Change Deal 
"During negotiations, developed countries always hope that a future China may do much better and greater efforts on addressing climate change issues," he said. Rajendra K. Pachauri, head of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with Gore, said already "we are perhaps at the upper range" of predicted higher temperatures this century. "We have a very short window of opportunity," he said. "If we want to limit temperature increase to about 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit), then emissions globally must peak by 2015." Connie Hedegaard, Denmark's climate minister, told The Associated Press the best solution is global limits on pollution blamed for global warming instead of a tax on carbon dioxide and other warming gases. "I would hope that they would sort of agree that some kind of cap and trade will be the most efficient tool to achieve what science tells us what we must achieve," she said.

POPSCIA Chief Rebuts Pelosi on Briefings "Let me be clear: It is not our policy or practice to mislead Congress," he wrote. "That is against our laws and our values." Other intelligence officials also contradicted Ms. Pelosi's account of the briefing, saying her assertion that she wasn't told waterboarding was in use at the time is wrong. "That's 180 degrees different from what the CIA's records show," an intelligence official said. Ms. Pelosi has repeatedly said she wasn't told until 2003 about their use. The CIA in a report last week suggested she was told at the 2002 briefing, an assertion she angrily denied Thursday. Mr. Panetta's email to CIA employees Friday attributed Ms. Pelosi's version of events to politics. "There is a long tradition in Washington of making political hay out of our business," he wrote. "But the political debates about interrogation reached a new decibel level yesterday when the CIA was accused of misleading Congress."

POPS Geithner's Dirty Little Secret president of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, argued that his intent was "not to sustain weak banks at the expense of strong". Yet this is precisely what the PPPIP does. The weak banks are the five largest banks in the system. The "dirty little secret" that Geithner is going to great degrees to obscure from the public is very simple. There are only at most perhaps five US banks that are the source of the toxic poison causing such dislocation in the world financial system. What Geithner is desperately trying to protect is that reality. The heart of the present problem, and the reason ordinary loan losses are not the problem as in prior bank crises, is a variety of exotic financial derivatives, most especially credit default swaps. What Geithner does not want the public to understand, his "dirty little secret", is that the repeal of Glass-Steagall and the passage of the Commodity Futures Modernization Act in 2000 allowed the creation of a tiny handful of banks . . . . .
