  • Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are those who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will.                                                                                                                         --Frederick Douglass 1857

Bunning that would have mandated a 6 billion gallon market by 2022 for liquid coal with a vote of 39-55. Also on June 19th, the Senate rejected an amendment led by Sen. Tester that would have provided $10 billion in loan guarantees for the development of liquid coal in a vote of 33-61.

  • Call it the networked environment. Picture tiny - we're talking small as a dime - wireless sensors lining lake beds and ocean floors, buried in the ground, and floating in the sky. All the time they are sniffing the air, water, and soil for pollutants and detecting changes in temperature and pressure.
  • The payoff: real-time data on a variety of phenomena that affect the economy and society - climate change, hurricanes, air and water pollution.
