Clean-tech is getting more and more political. With so much money and government subsidy, or not, at stake, it was inevitable. A leading greentech venture capitalist spoke at the Democratic Convention. And the governor of Montana spoke about Declaring energy Independence for America, and added we Americans could not simply drill our way to energy Independence. You can see this western governor on youtube. Until we address that energy crisis our problems will only get worse, said the Man from Montana. American innovation, he said. American oil consumption continues to decline. I like to imagine it's because people are choosing to conserve. Some observers think it may simply be our weakened economy. But whatever the cause, American oil use may... ... Source: news.telegraph.co.uk --- 10 days ago

This is how some wars begin: not with a bang but with a whimper. Earlier this year, as Kosovars went mad with joy after Declaring their Independence from Serbia, another no-man's land called South Ossetia appealed to the world to recognize its autonomy as well. But nobody seemed to be listening. The West was too smug to bother, relishing every bit of its triumph over the old enemy, Russia, which had naturally supported the Serbians. In March 2008, as South Ossetia's cry for help went unheeded, its next-door neighbour, Georgia, locked in a bitter quarrel with Russia for supremacy over this region, made a bid to join the Nato. This move, keenly supported by the United States of America, prompted Russia to back South Ossetia's demand for self-determination. As the latter refused a power-sharing deal with Georgia last April, the crisis escalated irreparably, assuming its deadliest form in the war that had broken out between Georgian and separatist South Ossetian forces, with Russian troops rallying behind the latter, though now halting action. It is uncertain who threw the first stone; but the origin of this war goes back two centuries, to the time when Georgia and South Ossetia were annexed to the Russian empire. ...

( NYT ), Russia puts the death toll at 2000 ( CNN ). Georgia denies this as “an egregious lie.” ( BBC News ) The Georgian president—according to CNN—sets the death toll at 100. ( CNN ) Georgia and the separatist region of South Ossetia—the current focal point of the escalating and expanding violence—have been in a state of tension for years, but the tension escalated when American ally Mikhail Saakashvili became President of Georgia. ( NYT ). Saakashvili “has made national unification a centerpiece of his agenda.” ( NYT ) In fact, he ran for office on a promise to recover Georgia’s lost territories. ( BBC News Timeline ) However, the people of South Ossetia—who as noted above have had de facto Independence since 1992— do not want to be part of the Georgian state.

Here's a list of key events in the 1858 U.S. Senate race between Stephen A. Douglas and Abraham Lincoln: —June 16: Accepting the Republican nomination, Lincoln shocks the nation by Declaring, "'A House divided against itself cannot stand.'" Democrats claim Lincoln is threatening war on the South. —July 26: Tired of Lincoln trailing him around the state, Douglas agrees to seven debates. —Aug. 21: In the first debate at Ottawa, Douglas says Lincoln is an abolitionist favoring black equality. Lincoln says Douglas' "popular sovereignty" idea would perpetuate slavery. —Aug. 27: At the second debate, in Freeport, Douglas responds to a question from Lincoln by Declaring the "Freeport Doctrine": Voters in U.S. territories could ban slavery. —Sept. 15: In the third debate, at Jonesboro, Douglas asserts that Lincoln, a "Black Republican," wants to dissolve the Union. Lincoln says the "Freeport Doctrine" contradicts the Supreme Court's 1857 ruling in the Dred Scott case. —Sept. 18: Pressured to respond to Douglas' race-baiting, Lincoln flatly states at the fourth debate, in Charleston, that blacks and whites could never live together in equality. —Oct. 7: At Galesburg, Douglas accuses Lincoln of altering his positions on race depending on the audience. Lincoln tries to distinguish between "natural rights" given blacks by the Declaration of Independence and civil rights, which he opposes for blacks. —Oct. 13: In the debate at Quincy, Lincoln ...

David Emerson, Minister of Foreign Affairs, issued a statement yesterday on the situation in Georgia: “Canada is gravely concerned about Russia’s recognition of the Independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. This recognition violates Georgia’s territorial integrity and sovereignty and is contrary to UN Security Council resolutions supported by Russia, as well as to the six-point peace plan brokered by President Nicolas Sarkozy on behalf of the EU.” Putting aside the issue of Russia’s broken promise to Sarkozy, the EU and the UN Security Council, which is no doubt serious, what is wrong with recognizing the Independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia? Do people not have the right to democratically secede? South Ossetia voted twice to secede from Georgia, once in 1992 and again in 2006. The People's Assembly of Abkhazia passed a resolution in 2006 calling upon Russia to recognize Abkhaz as an independent state after Declaring its Independence in 1992. No nation has a permanent claim on its citizens, not even for geopolitical expediency. Ludwig von Misses wrote in Omnipotent Government that “A nation, therefore, has no right to say to a province: You belong to me, I want to take you. A province consists of its inhabitants. If anybody has a right to be heard in this case it is these inhabitants. Boundary disputes should be settled by plebiscite.” He also wrote in Nation, State, and Economy that “No people and no part of a people shall ... Source: www.RenewableEnergyWorld.com --- 12 days ago

Roy Welensky (1907–1991) was a White African politician and the second and final prime minister of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland . Born in Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia to parents of Jewish and Afrikaner ancestry, he moved to Northern Rhodesia , became involved with the trade unions, and entered the colonial legislative council in 1938. There, he campaigned for the amalgamation of Northern and Southern Rhodesia. Although unsuccessful, he succeeded in the formation of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, a state within the British Empire that sought to retain disproportionate power for the white minority while moving in a progressive political direction, in contrast to apartheid South Africa . Becoming Prime Minister of the Federation in 1957, Welensky opposed British moves towards African majority rule, and used force to suppress politically motivated violence in the territories. After the advent of African rule in two of the Federation's three territories, it collapsed in 1963. Welensky retired to Salisbury, where he re-entered politics and attempted to stop Rhodesia from unilaterally Declaring itself independent . With the end of white rule in 1979, and the Independence of Rhodesia as Zimbabwe under Robert Mugabe in 1980, Welensky moved to England, where he died in 1991. A fervent admirer of Britain and the Empire, Welensky described himself as "half Jewish, half Afrikaner [and] 100% British". ( more... ) Recently feat ...
