Man, Phuck R. Kelly.
Man, fuck R. Kelly.
I've been on my anti-Kels tip for a while, now. Much of it, naturally, was based on his entire court case. Urinating on underage girls isn't a good look, and then blaming your brother for it in the meanwhile is even worse. I'm not saying I'm the most morally sound person, ‘cause I've done my share of things I regret, but certain shit you just don't do © Mos Def. The case's results from a month or so made me hate him even more: the fact that he could actually postpone that case for five years and get acquitted got me pissed (no pun intended) not only about how shady he was, but at the justice system in general. i.e., Somebody who wasn't a wealthy, multiplatinum-selling R&B superstar wouldn't have been able to postpone his case for five years to desensitize everyone involved, gather extra evidence for their case and get off of the hook Starting then, I made another vow to further boycott R. Kelly's music.

US BLM Announces Environmental Analysis Of Solar Energy Development
More news about how you can influence government policy on sustainable solar energy development from our friend Bill Brown up in Taos, New Mexico at www.nmglobalwarming.org
"Hello, All -- In addition to the recent agreement between the Western Governor's Association and the U.S. Department of Energy regarding clean energy development and transmission, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management enters the picture as managing agency of vast tracts of our American Western landscape.
Today's press release below says, "During work on the PEIS [programmatic Environmental Impact Statement], the BLM will focus attention on the 125 applications already received for rights-of-way for solar energy development, while deferring new applications until after completion of the PEIS. The 125 existing applications are for land covering almost one million acres and with the potential to generate 70 billion watts of electricity, or enough to power 20 million average American homes."
BLM public scoping meetings will be held around the Western USA -- in 8 western cities listed near the end of the press release -- from June 16 through June 26, 2008, and written comments are due by July 7, 2008.
See http://solareis.anl.gov/ for more information.
Note that concentrated solar power (solar thermal) installations -- wherein reflectors heat liquid to run turbines -- can require significant amounts of cooling water (as much water as coal-fired or nuclear power plants require per megawatt of energy produced) whereas solar photovoltaic power installations require virtually no water."

In Colorado, an unlikely alliance between hunters and environmentalists against dr...
The Roan Plateau in Colorado has become the subject of disputed real estate, much of it public land that the Federal government's Bureau of Land Management is selling to energy companies interested in drilling for oil and gas in the mountainous region. John McDaniel writes, in his contribution to the Christian Science Monitor (14 May 2008), that the B.L.M. have offered to open up 73,000 acres -- or 70-percent -- of the Roan Plateau Planning Area for oil and gas drilling, a decision initiated late last year.
Deer and elk hunters who have pursued game in the Roan Plateau area between the Colorado Rockies to the Utah border, have aligned with environmentalists to voice expression against the B.L.M.'s plan to sell once-protected areas of the Roan Plateau for energy development. The Roan Plateau in Colorado has become the subject of disputed real estate, much of it public land that the Federal government's... more
