“The conservative media game was neatly summarized by Matt Labash, a former senior writer for The Weekly Standard, in a 2003 interview on the website journalismjobs.com. Labash explained: 'The conservative media likes to rap the liberal media on the knuckles for not being objective. We've created this cottage industry in which it pays to be un-objective. It's a great way to have your cake and eat it too. Criticize other people for not being objective. Be as subjective as you want. It's a great little racket.'” PeopleWayWantLittlesGamesPayMediaIndustryStandardsConservativeRapLikesObjectivesFormerInterviewsCriticizeCakeSeniorSubjectiveWebsiteCottagesRacketKnucklesLiberal MediaHave Your Cake And Eat It Too Author:Matt Labash

“The foundation is being laid for the emergence of both wind and solar cells as cornerstones of the new energy economy. World wind generating capacity grew from 7,600 megawatts in 1997 to 9,600 in 1998, an expansion of 26 percent. At a national level, Germany led the way, adding 790 megawatts of capacity, followed by Spain with 380 megawatts, and the United States with 226 megawatts. In the past, U.S. wind generating capacity was concentrated in California, but in 1998, wind farms began generating electricity in Minnesota, Oregon, and Wyoming, broadening the new industry's geographical base.” WorldWayStatesPastEnergyLevelsUnitedUnited StatesEconomyWindGrewIndustryPercentCapacityFoundationCellsAlternativesCaliforniaGermanyFarmsExpansionElectricitySpainEmergenceCornerstonesMinnesotaOregonWyomingNew EnergyWind FarmsSolar Cells Author:Lester R.

“Both rich and poor nations have a common stake in policies that put the globe on a sustainable development path. The conflict is less between poor and rich countries than between the broad interests of people and the narrow interests of extractive industries. We need to find our way towards some kind of global regime that reduces emissions of the greenhouse gases, but well-off nations need to transfer the technology to make this possible, rather than viewing this shift as one more opportunity for private industry to profit.” PeopleWayNeedsWellsKindCountryOpportunityNationsInterestPoorCommonTechnologyPathRichPolicyDevelopmentIndustryConflictProfitGlobal WarmingBroadsStakesRegimesGlobesTransfersRich And PoorEmissionsSustainable DevelopmentGreenhousesGreenhouse GasesRich CountriesPoor Nations Author:Robert Kuttner
