- Why "cheap" energy is really costly in the long run
- The TVA coal sludge mess is like most disaster stories. In the first days estimates get continually worse until something close to realistic appraisal is reached. Then the lawsuits and finger-pointing begin. We've just hit that stage. TVA is now facing lawsuits. ...

- The really inconvenient truth: real price of our energy
- I've blogged before about the need for a new energy calculus. Not just market and whosesale costs to the user of the energy.
