“Will biofuel usage require land? Absolutely, but we think the ability to use winter cover crops, degraded land, as well as using sources such as organic waste, sewage, and forest waste means that actual land usage will be limited. Just these sources can replace most of our imported oil by 2030 without touching new land.” ThinkingWellsMeanUseAbilityLandSourceWasteWinterOilForestsTouchingCropsUsageSewageBiofuels Author:Vinod Khosla

“There is no waste in functioning natural ecosystems. All organisms, dead or alive, are potential sources of food for other organisms. A caterpillar eats a leaf; a robin eats the caterpillar; a hawk eats the robin. When the plant, caterpillar, robin, and hawk die, they are in turn consumed by decomposers.” ScienceDiesTurnsNaturalAliveSourceWastePlantOrganismsLeafsConsumedEcosystemsRobinsHawksCaterpillars Author:G.

“While sabotaging our reliable energy sources, Obama is also throwing as much federal money as he can at failed green energy projects, which are so ill-conceived that a reasonable person might conclude this goal is to waste money. Solyndra wasn't the only such failed enterprise, as we've shown. There were a dozen others, and despite these failures and the unconscionable waste, he has revealed nothing but a defiant determination to double down and spend more on other such projects. It's mind-blowing.” MindPersonsMightEnergyGoalSourceWasteProjectsDeterminationDown AndGreenIllDespiteReasonableEnterpriseThrowingDozenMind BlowingEnergy SourcesGreen Energy Author:David Limbaugh

“Often the best source of information about waste, fraud, and abuse in government is an existing government employee committed to public integrity and willing to speak out. Such acts of courage and patriotism, which can sometimes save lives and often save taxpayer dollars, should be encouraged rather than stifled as they have been during the Bush administration. We need to empower federal employees as watchdogs of wrongdoing and partners in performance.” NeedsShouldSometimesGovernmentSpeakInformationWillingSourceIntegrityWastePerformancesAbuseDollarsCommittedPartnersEmpoweringEmployeeFraudTaxpayersSpeaks OutWrongdoingSave A LifeBe EncouragedActs Of CourageWhistleblowersGovernment Employees Author:Barack Obama
“When the ice of winter holds the house in its rigid grip, when curtains are drawn against that vast frozen waste of landscape, almost like a hibernating hedgehog I relish the security of being withdrawn from all that summer ferment that is long since past. Then is the time for reappraisal: to spread out, limp and receptive, and let garden thoughts rise to the surface. They emerge from some deep source of stillness which the very fact of winter has released.” LongFactsPastHouseSecuritySourceWasteSummerGardenWinterSpreadSurfaceIceLandscapeStillnessFrozenCurtainsJanuaryRelishReceptiveHedgehogs Author:Mirabel Osler
“The primary source of waste in government is that legislators are often under heavy pressure to vote for projects that will benefit their campaign contributors, even when those projects fail a simple cost-benefit test. But with the Supreme Court showing little interest in permitting tighter rules on campaign contributions in recent years, there is little reason to be optimistic that we'll start curbing this kind of waste any time soon.” YearsKindLittlesReasonGovernmentInterestSimpleFailingSourceCostWasteBenefitsProjectsTestsVotePressureCourtHeavyCampaignsSupremeOptimisticPrimariesContributionSupreme CourtLegislatorsBeing OptimisticContributorsPrimary SourceCampaign Contributions Author:Robert H.
