Department of Energy to give technical assistance on burning Wood and Poo Poo?
Maybe I am reading the post wrong at the Department of Energy, but this does not sound like "Clean Energy."
The DoEnergy is giving technical assistance to five Native Alaskan and Native American tribes on clean energy projects. All of them raise my eyebrows.
Chugachmiut Regional Corporation
Wood? The only way I know how to use wood for energy is to burn it. They need technical assistance to burn wood? And how is that clean or environmentally friendly? You kill trees and put smoke in the air!
Ho-Chunk Nation
Municipal solid waste will be used for energy. Wow. When I think of clean energy I don't usually think of poop.
Then the remaining tribes get assistance on solar energy. I probably don't need to remind you the government's success rate when they are involved in solar energy.

The corporation plans to replace a local, community-scale hot water distribution system with a new energy-efficient biomass plant, which will use local wood to generate power for community buildings in the Native Village of Port Graham.

Ho-Chunk Nation
The Ho-Chunk Nation will receive technical assistance with the development of a one to two megawatt biomass waste-to-energy plant. The plant could potentially use municipal solid waste, agriculture waste or other biomass resources to offset tribal facility energy costs.

Will North Carolina Ban Internet Sales?
Okay. Maybe the title is a bit of an exaggeration, but it is not far off.
Car dealerships feel threatened by online sales of the Tesla so they are sponsoring a law that would only allow dealerships to sell new cars.
If this passes kiss Internet shopping goodbye. It is called precedence.

Department of Education spends more during the Sequester
Calling out more spending during the sequester. Have to do it because we heard how much the sequester would hurt education.

Homeland Securities and White Terrorists
This is not big news that Homeland Security has a campaign "If You See Something, Say Something." You probably already know there was a video produced that portrays terrorists as white men, not middle-eastern heritage.
Why am I bringing this up?
Department of Homeland Security homepage currently has as its top link this program with the video. Really?
Would you like to embed this video? Here is the necessary HTML.
