Today's News:
Wonders never cease in the 'go-green' arena. University teams of students have built 20 solar powered houses for a U.S. Department of Energy sponsored competition in Ca. The houses were reassembled on the National Mall for display and judged on their use of technology, design and other attributes. The houses are quite remarkable. The issue as to mass marketability it seems, is always GREEN - as in money. It cost a bundle to build these babies. Mass marketing on them may be a wash for now, but at least mass human mind is on the way to enlightenment in terms of green philosophy.

Today's News: NOW WHAT? For all that we Americans have been through, what else could the government pull in terms of energy stunts? This one seems not to be in the form of public utility issues, but certain new rules by Congress may affect how everyday people spend they personal energy in the coming days. Seems there are new crackdown laws brewing - on charities of all things. The IRS is now going to spotlight people for charitable deductions. Maybe they'll only hit the mid-rich, who tend to donate in the six figure range. But we should keep an alert eye out. Soon enough all those neighborhood abandoned puppies and kitties may have no funding and all charities will be left groping for funds in the dark.
