- Grumpy old man gets happy--how can this be? Isn't the U.S. economy hopelessly doomed?
- I'm a grumpy old man. It's very easy to get really angry or completely depressed blogging about cleantech, or the need for it. From the global warming arguments to whole nations--like my own and China--stubbornly refusing to move to new technologies, this seems to be an era of...

- Jobs or air pollution--is this a false dicotomy?
- It looks like battles over the environment and global warming are likely to be central to the American political system for months, perhaps years, to come. Right now the punditocracy and the lobbyists on both sides are tossing rockets over a bill about global warming. The bill is...
