Centralized Energy Will Be Better For Emissions And Health In Poor Countries - Even If It's Coal
In countries that have embraced centralized energy and migrated away from individual cooking with dung or wood, both public health and the emissions have improved. So why not pay for all developed countries to switch? The World Bank wanted to do that half a decade ago but it became political; countries like the U.S. agreed only to contribute if they used solar or wind, which are not viable even in America much less in a poor nation. It was another case of wealthy countries with plenty of energy passing their guilt along to Africa and Asia. read more

Liberal or conservative?

The Pecker In The Woodshed
Canadians would probably be surprised to learn that David Pecker is on the board of Postmedia. The owner of *The National Enquirer* -- which pumped up Donald Trump's campaign and buried stories which could have sunk that campaign -- has profited from the arrangement. Alan Freeman writes: While not negotiating hush-money deals with porn stars, Pecker has found the time to be an assiduous member of the Postmedia board, attending nine board meetings in 2017 and being paid C$117,500 for his trouble. He also advised the board on executive compensation, for which I’m sure Godfrey remain... more »

I know that may sound snotty, but I rarely see these peeps standing in line at the voting booths. Then again, I do see the manipulation hard at work that makes women don ugly little knitted pink hats and scream in public for the right to slaughter their unborn children.
