BBC NEWS | Magazine | The bulb hoarders

If these new lightbulbs are so good and so cost-effective why not just leave it to the free market? This kind of government intervention just stifles innovation.

Pentagon tells Bush: climate change will destroy us | Environment | The Observer

It doesn't seem to occur to the reporter that the Pentagon has a vested interest in predicting global warfare due to upheaval caused by climate change. Another example of the appallingly low journalistic standards that accompany much of the reporting on g
