POPSwall of dissent I know bipartisanship when I see it, and its not saying one thing and doing another," House Minority Leader John A. Boehner, Ohio Republican, told reporters. The White House repeatedly says it wants to find avenues of cooperation, and Mr. Obama will meet Tuesday with Republican and Democratic congressional leaders at the White House " the first of the regular meetings he proposed in his address to Congress. He has also called for a televised bipartisan summit later this month to try to reignite momentum for his health care bill. Republicans have agreed to meet, but say progress will be impossible unless the president starts new with his bill. Meanwhile, Senate Democrats are seeking bipartisan support for a second stimulus jobs package but say they are prepared to move ahead unilaterally. That posturing leaves energy as one key area where cooperation seemed possible " particularly given the words Mr. Obama used http://bit.ly/dqrQsv

Researchers insist the errors are minor and do not impact on the overall conclusions about climate change. However, senior scientists are now expressing concern at the way the IPCC compiles its reports and have hit out at the panel’s use of so-called “grey literature” " evidence from sources that have not been subjected to scientific scrutiny. A new poll has revealed that public belief in climate change is weakening.The panel’s controversial chair, Rajendra Pachauri is facing pressure to resign over the affair. Drafts of the reports are checked by scientific reviewers before they are subjected to line-by-line approval by the 130 member countries of the IPCC. Despite these checks, a diagram used to demonstrate the potential for generating electricity from wave power has been found to contain numerous errors. The source of information for the diagram was cited as the website of UK-based wave-energy company Wavegen. Yet the diagram on Wavegen’s website contain ....

POPSSustainable houses for the Solar Decathlon Europe 2010 "The core element here is sustainability. The house can expand with its lightweight ribs that are dried together. The basic unit is composed totally of prefabricated materials and is dry assembled. All the systems meant for energy capture, transformation and renewable energy accumulation have been chosen to provide a realistic and organized product. The courtyard of the house also works as a cooling unit by using cross ventilation with the purpose of creating a “microclimate.” The house is meant to be energetically self-sufficient."

POPS The Nuclear Bluff Obama budget exposes nuclear lie http://michellemalkin.com In his State of the Union Address, President Obama purported to reach across the aisle by endorsing a “new generation of safe, clean nuclear power plants”…before pushing cap and trade. The nearly $4 trillion budget he released today exposes his nuclear lie. President Barack Obama will propose eliminating funding for the Yucca Mountain project in a new budget he will submit to Congress on Monday, according to Nevada lawmakers who were notified over the weekend. It zeroes out funds for the besieged Yucca Mountain nuclear storage facility in Nevada " one of the few, prominent Obama campaign pledges that he looks like he’s actually fulfilling: Following the State of the Union, in a conference call with reporters on the same day the nuclear financing plan was unveiled, Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced the creation of a special panel to find a solution for storing nuclear waste.

POPSEnergy Flow, Emergent Complexity, and Collapse Do not try to hold on to the bank, let go, and swim with the torrent of change. We are the people we have been waiting for. (Hopi saying.) It was irritating that Pres. B. Obama used that saying during his campaign without attribution.

POPSCold Weather Stalls Windpower in Minnesota Another example of what happens when the ALL KNOWING Government decides they have a better idea. All 20 of the newly installed wind-turbines which were supposed to help reduce fossil fuel energy production has failed to produce any electricity. Sounds like the government full of hot air and accomplishing absolutely nothing but wasting taxpayer money. So this weeks DODO bird award goes to the officials of Minnesota who actually thought up this lame brain idea. This one certainly has flown over the Cuckoo's nest.

POPSShocker: “Stimulus” Spending Subsidizing Green Energy There Is No Demand For What’s sad is that the politicians are no doubt looking at this problem, which stems from a lack of demand for wind energy (thanks to high prices even with subsidies), as something to be solved with…more subsidies. Meaning we’d be subsidizing demand for a product, wind energy, the supply of which we also subsidized into existence. Maybe, just maybe, the government shouldn’t be trying to steer energy markets. “Stimulus” Spending Subsidizing Supply Of Green Energy There Is No Demand For http://bit.ly/a0uHLB http://sayanythingblog.com

POPSObama Budget: Shows He LIED About Drilling For Oil In SOTU Sadly like most of the promises coming from this President this pledge came with an expiration date. Only this expiration had a short window, only five days. When President Obama sent out his budget, it showed a decline in revenue from oil land leases, meaning he planned to be more restrictive in allowing off-shore-drilling than before. ..... more Obama Administration has NO intention of opening up New Areas for Offshore Drilling http://bit.ly/8ZE2TE
