		<description><![CDATA[The world community is forming, the borders that stand between nations are dissolving as the evolutionary forces of human consciousness awaken to the possibility of sustainable communities. Corporations are the usurpers who cross borders to exploit labor and the environment, buying off corrupt politicians to reap their profits, while families are being ripped apart by deportations that stop people from exercising their rights to a decent living.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This weekend (November 5-6) Occupy and the Sierra Club intend to form a human chain around the White House to protest the tar sands project.  I suggest that 4 themes be joined together, one for each side of the White House.   One side for the living biosphere with Sierra Club on that side.  The opposite side is anti-military weapons and wars. Protesting Global warming on one side and global warring on the opposite side.  The third side is for social and economic equalities with many more in the middle than on top.  The last side is for the remaining 7 billion humans, the total world population estimated to have reached and passed 7 billion on October 31.  Instead of encircling the White House, ensquare the White House.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["In the aftermath of the San Bruno tragedy, it has become increasingly obvious that blame must be shared by regulators who were either asleep at the switch or too cozy with the industry they're supposed to regulate," said Herrera. "The potential threat to human life and safety demands the strictest enforcement of federal pipeline standards. Yet while PG&#038;E was flouting federal law, regulators did little to hold the company accountable. Congress enacted the Pipeline Safety Act to allow for legal actions like the one I am initiating to protect public safety, and I am confident a federal court order will help accomplish that. The potential risks to San Franciscans and others from further gas pipeline failures can no longer be ignored."]]></description>

Nonetheless, NRC officials rubber stamp license extensions, including 66 facilities over 25 years old re-licensed for another two decades, instead of responsibly shutting them down.]]></description>

By 2030, power demand in the U.S. is expected to double. To meet this demand for power without fossil fuels, we need both nuclear power as well as renewable energy.]]></description>

Senator Inhofe called "the threat of catastrophic global warming the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people." And Representative Rohrabacher called the science behind global warming "emotional junk science."  Even that eminent scientist Sarah Palin called global warming studies "snake oil science."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[But as is so often the case, common sense for the public’s interest is shoved aside by special interests who have a financial stake in the passage of Prop 23. That would be the oil companies who don’t want their product replaced with renewable energy. According to the Huffington Post, three out-of-state oil companies - Valero Corp. and Tesoro Corp of Texas and Flint Hills Resources in Kansas - are big contributors to Proposition 23.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[George W. Bush and his minions intentionally built a case for war with Iraq without regard to factual evidence. They took advantage of the public's hysteria over the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon to authorize an invasion and occupation of Iraq with no evidence that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Remember Scott Ritter, a chief United Nations weapons inspector in Iraq from 1991 to 1998, who publicly argued that Iraq possessed no significant WMDs? Similarly, Hans Martin Blix, the head of the United Nations Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission from March 2000 to June 2003, searched Iraq for WMDs, ultimately finding none. ]]></description>

It added to the $8 billion in previous bailout funds already paid to PG&#038;E by its ratepayers since 1998, bringing the bailout total to over $16 billion. The bailout plan was approved by the Public Utility Commission despite accusations that PG&#038;E's officers siphoned $4 billion to its unregulated holding company, PGE Corporation, out of the $8 billion in "Competition Transition Surcharge" funds already paid to PG&#038;E by its ratepayers between 1998 and 2000.]]></description>
