Power to the people
New Hampshire can make electricity from renewable resources like water, wood and wind, but can it get that power to market?
By Heidi Masek hmasek@hippopress.com
The feds might be dragging their feet on measures to slow down global warming and encourage use of non-fossil fuels, but states are stepping up to the plate, particularly in the Northeast. New Hampshire has adopted renewable portfolio standards (RPS), which take effect this year. The standards will mean that utility companies must get certain percentages of their power from renewable sources or pay a fee.

Longshots: Comment sparks wonder over just what I did
by Dave Long
So the other day I’m in the men’s room at CR Sparks — which is one of my favorite places. Well, not the men’s room part, but the restaurant itself, that is. Great place, though it has a pretty good men’s room too. I’m reading the newspaper pinned up in a case on the wall and this well-dressed guy looks over to me and says, “Why are you doing that? You don’t know what the blank you are talking about anyway.”

If the universe keeps expanding, the physicists say, it will go out with neither a bang nor a whimper, but rather a prolonged sigh.
