Consistently demonstrate practical, affordable energy efficiency and renewable energy ideas, devices, and systems at the over 4000 weekly farmers' markets that take place across the USA from Memorial Day to Halloween or Thanksgiving. The people who attend farmers' markets are a core constituency for green technology and practical applications that save money, energy, and resources. They are likely to be early adopters who can spread those possibilities into the community. I've done energy demos at my local farmers' market and know that a renewable energy company sometimes participates in the year-long weekly market near Providence, RI. I wouldn't be surprised if there were more examples out there. Do energy education weekly at as many of those 4000 weekly markets as possible and over one growing season energy use and attitudes would change significantly. See Mr Franklin's Folks for one vision of how this might work.

Thursday Night Express: High Speed Rail, Rapid Streetcars, and Democracy
by BruceMcF
Burning the Midnight Oil for Living Energy Independence Welcome to the Thursday Night Express. This is a new service joining the Sunday Train. In Sunday Train, I try to dig into some information related to energy independent transport and share what details I can find. And of course, some people have time to ride the Sunday Train, and some people do not have the time to spare. The Thursday Evening Express is an experiment that will pick three specific topics, primarily from the previous Sunday Train, and present three short arguments in two to three paragraphs.

BP Blaming Employees For The Gusher
by Edger
Crossposted from Antemedius It now appears that BP, while attempting to plug the gusher with their so called "top kill" operation, has moved to trying to blame the Deepwater Horizon platform explosion and the BP oil gusher in the Gulf on it's employees who were on the platform at the time of the explosion. In this short clip from CBS Wednesday, beginning at the 1:26 minute mark, you hear CBS News Correspondent Mark Strassman say that... BP officials have told congressional investigators that right before the rig exploded, workers on it ignored strong warning signs - equipment readings that something was terribly wrong, including contaminated cement and leaking gas, signs that the rig could blow - and two hours later, it did.

BP Wants Judge With Ties to Big Oil
by Steven D
While BP's engineers, and all the other industry experts arrayed to assist them, are praying that the "Top Kill" procedure to end all the oil leaking into the Gulf works (it's still too soon to know), BP's legal team is deeply involved solving a different crisis: how to limit BP's liability for the mess it created. So it should come as no surprise that BP wants only one judge to handle all litigation involving the Deep Horizon disaster, a judge with troubling ties to the oil industry:

Salazar Delays Arctic Drilling!
by Senor Unoball
In light of the Gulf gusher, the Obama administration is apparently backing down from proposed oil drilling that was slated to begin this summer in the Arctic Ocean. Shell had proposed exploratory drilling in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas; this drilling is now said to be on hold for at least a year. This is great news for environmentalists and those who care for the Arctic ecosystems!
