The President's State of The Union Address hyped up Clean Energy and Renewable Power. These three methods of electrical power generation are the most inefficient ways to produce electricity. Wind Power at best delivers it power at an efficiency rate of only 20%. If you got a brand new car full in the knowledge that it was only going to run one time in five, would you be happy?

And the death of Yasser Arafat may provide a "new opportunity" for Middle East peace, Bush said late last week in a joint appearance with British Prime Minister Tony Blair. The...

Union County shelter director fired after family pet killed 8/5/2004 10:13 AM By: Associated Press (MONROE) - The acting manager of the Union County animal shelter has been fired after a family pet was killed by accident. A swell of phone calls from animal lovers prompted the county health director to fire Maggie Nelson this week, instead of just suspending her without pay.
