Pioneer Press refute
Submitted by rl on Fri, 03/27/2009 - 16:34
When ever I purchase a Minnesota newspaper I purchase the Pioneer Press, because if the majority of residence religiously read the other paper there is a high possibility that those readers' perceptions are status que. The publishing of the article by Max Schulz 3-26-09 (Let's at least be honest about renewable energy's costs) disproves my theory.

Living in the frozen surrounds of Minnesota in January a familiar greeting one often hears is, “Global Warming, ha.

An article published in the Minneapolis Tribune (10l20l08) written by Ben Bova projects one of the potential solutions in resolving the externalities associated with electric energy production by combustion.
Ben's article is not reporting a new proposal; in fact I first read about photovoltaic (solar) cells attached to outer space satellites back in the eighties.

Two interesting energy topics are confronting electric energy users in the Midwest now. The first is a story written by a commercial farm supply retailer and, the other is an electric rate increase in northern Minnesota.
I receive many stories either written or verbal on wind turbines and/or energy conservation. I investigate them all.

It's not that I expected any differences from the past but; with the rapidly changing ecology along with it's twin, the economy; how do the followers that attended both conventions in Denver and Saint Paul remain so optimistic of their own futures while chanting “change”?
Don't they realize that the change that the U.S.
