News On Colony Collapse Disorder

This article discusses colony collapse disorder and another book on this major problem. There is a new book on the subject 'A Fruitless Fall'. The title echos that excellent book, linked to our site, Michael Schacker's 'A Spring Without Bees'. I have not read this new book, but encourage all to read Mr. Schacker's. See Story

Solar Manufacturing Slumps

T'was to be the panacea for the economy, a place to spend, to creat jobs, to aid our nation while helping our nation for the future. However with the coming world wide depression, with the decline in oil prices, alternative energies are no longer such a bargain. From hybrid cars, to wind, to solar, to anything new and expensive... these new jobs are going to be a tough sell.

Unless the nation, subsidizes the new cars, the new wind plants, the new hybrid cars... this path to employment will not work... because no one will be buying.

Tough times for easy answers and the Republicans are out there lying in wait and stalking.

AOL Top Twenty Five Things Vanishing From America

Number four on AOL's New Years List of the top twenty-five things vanishing from America is the Honey Bee. A bit Amerio-centric since the honey bee, specifically the European Honeybee, the one which pollinates fruit and nuts and so many good things, is vanishing all over Europe too. The solution is to get after the Bayer drug company, stop pesticides, eliminate golf course fertilization, and generate a symbiosis between flowers and crops, bees and pollination. Remember to plant those wildflowers this spring. http://www.savethebeesshirts.com/ will be selling seeds. And Remember wear that Save the Bees Stuff or your blueberry pancakes will soon be vanishing as well, along with your Marzipan and all your berries.

"4. Honey Bees
Perhaps nothing on our list of disappearing America is so dire; plummeting so enormously; and so necessary to the survival of our food supply as the honey bee. 'Colony Collapse Disorder,' or CCD, has spread throughout the U.S. and Europe over the past few years, wiping out 50% to 90% of the colonies of many beekeepers -- and along with it, their livelihood."

George Bush's Last Stand Against Clean Air

W, The Doofus, George Bush, war criminal, duplicitous half-bright scammer, and the slimiest president to dirty the White House in over a hundred years has done it again. His EPA is allowing last minute approval of Coal Fired Electric Plants without consideration of carbon dioxide as a pollutant in spite of a recent Supreme Court ruling to the contrary. One can only wonder who or what entity has bribed Bush for this.

I know Jesus told him! Article.
