My wife gets alum news from that place too, but in her heart she'll always be a banana slug.

Yeah, that's why she decided to transfer. Wanted to leave the grad school option open and figured grades would be easier.
 
I don't know anything about the other appointees warming up in the bullpen, but "The appointments suggest that Obama plans to make a strong push for measures to combat global warming and programs to support energy innovation. "I think it's a great team," said Daniel A. Lashof, director of the Climate Center at the Natural Resources Defense Council. "On policy, it's a dramatic contrast based on what I know about the policy direction that all these folks will be bringing to these positions."

The fact that they are being called "climate posts" should thrill those on the (insert whatever the acceptable "denier" term is) side.

If the Energy department decides to put a lot of goofy Carbon Credit policy into play, you can bet the 2010 election will be a bloodbath for the Democrats. Just like 1994. Some of the crap that CA has mandated is not practical or even possible with the warring Eco terrorist groups running this state. This Chu guy may be very capable. I hope he has some common sense. Something lacking in most of the Al Gore followers.

You have to believe that Chu was vetted by Gore to some extent. Gore and Obama met yesterday, and the "eco-team" was announced today. Or maybe Obama felt he had to let Gore down easy.

I don't think Gore would take the job. It is beneath his place in life. He likes traveling around spreading his tales of NYC going under water in the next few years.

Indeed NYC has more to fear from earthquakes, rather than going under water; other than a hurricane that goes much farther north than normal. . Of course some Gore ite will probably try to link upstate new york co2 from that one horse in the field causing the earthquake.

Planet HD 189733b
 
Must be cars and trucks and human endeavor, but how did we launch it 63 LIGHT YEARS away?
 
(Lets see 186,000 miles per second x 60 seconds= 1 hour x 24 hours= 1 day x 365 days x 63 years)

So if we could get C02 down to Planet HD 189733b levels from our earth levels. Life as WE know it on earth would be like life on planet HD 189733b : in a word, UNSUSTAINABLE. Go free radicals !!!

Looks like a registration link or something - won't load for me.
 
But I don't have much sympathy for Tesla. They've always seemed more like a stock touting outfit than an energy or car company.
 
Here's their statement about the bailout:
