Palin Misses the Point

More on: Sarah Palin,   Republican,   energy policy,   convention,   acceptance speech,   coal,   oil,   clean coal 

Sarah Palin is a good speaker.

That much became evident very quickly in her acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday night.

But what also became apparent is that she has fallen for the same broken thinking on energy policy that has dogged her party for years..» Read blog

Sarah Steelman's Misleading Ads

More on: ethanol,   Sarah Steelman,   Missouri,   low gas prices  

I used to really respect Sarah Steelman.

I thought her stand against the insurance company hornswoggle known as "tort reform" was a tremendous, courageous stand.

But unfortunately, her latest (and silliest) ad in her grab to be Missouri's next governor has unmasked her as another politician willing to trade sides for no reason at all, other than supporting the sentiment of the moment..» Read blog

Travelogue Part 1: Pete Seeger

This afternoon, I found myself driving over the Appalachian Plateau towards Chattanooga, my two daughters in tow, listening to Pete Seeger sing kids songs. It just doesn't get much better than that.

Seeger, in my opinion, doesn't get the recognition he deserves, as a sterling musician, as a heart-rending singer, as a song collector and as a political bellwether..» Read blog

Acres

Over the past year there have been some fascinating conversations about the promise of ethanol. Within that same twelve-month period we have seen many organizations start crying out against the production of ethanol from corn.

Corn-based ethanol in the US has been labeled as a crime against humanity by some..» Read blog

Downstream

More on: Missouri stream team,   water conservation 

Water has always had an irresistible pull on my heart. When I was a kid it didn’t matter if it was a mud puddle, lake, or pond; if I could get at it, I was in it. Nothing, however, compared to my fascination with running water. I can sit and stare at a swiftly moving stream and become lost for hours..» Read blog

Biodiesel is Not The Problem

More on: biodiesel,   food crisis,   ethanol 

Biodiesel is NOT adding to any food crisis.

Let me repeat that: Biodiesel is NOT adding to any food crisis.

Biodiesel is very different from ethanol, yet both are often lumped together as "biofuels". Their impact is drastically different..» Read blog

More on: environment,   Missouri,   Stream Team,   rainbow trout,   Crane Creek,   Missouri Department of Conservation 

In high school, my mother and I waded out into the water of our cold Crane Creek to fill up some vials with creek water. For me, it was just another one of my mother’s many volunteer activities. She had decided to become a Read blog

Farm Aid

Elizabeth Exley  All blogs by Elizabeth Exley

AMES, IA—My uncle tells stories about the Farm Crisis. It was the mid-80s, and he, like many others, was struggling to keep the family farm. It’s a hard story to tell, so he leaves out how difficult it was to go through threats of bankruptcy and debt, but he lights up the room when he tells of his friends riding in convoys of tractors to Washington, DC..» Read blog

Do We Have a Moral Obligation to the Future?

More on: business,   economy,   future 

We must answer this question definitively before we can even begin to address how we deal with issues like global climate changes and sustainable development.
The basis for this answer must come from a moral argument. Economically the well-being of future generations is not of any real concern; hell, most economists have trouble predicting current economic actions much less being accurate in predicting economic activity multiple generations from now..» Read blog

The Importance of Solar

Hello, Larry Hagman here. Welcome to my first foray into the world of blogging. This is an exciting time for me, at the tender age of 76, having the opportunity to delve into a new medium of communication and education. It’s just fantastic.

Over the last fifty or so years mankind has seen amazing changes..» Read blog

Get It Straight

The word energy has been thrown bandied about so extensively over the last several years, it’s hard even to understand what people are really talking about.

When we discuss energy and the dependence of the United States on foreign countries for energy we are, almost exclusively, discussing oil..» Read blog

A Man From Missouri

I would like to introduce you to a man who has had far greater impact than most folks realize and much less credit than he deserves.

Dennis Weaver was born in Joplin, Missouri nearly 83 years ago. He lived and worked on a farm in northern Newton County where he learned just how important the land was to all of us..» Read blog
