Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Pelosi have said that if both committees approve of Detroit's recovery plans, they will call Congress back into session next week to pass a bill. Of all the compromises open to lawmakers, one thing is nearly certain: the bigger and more complicated the plan, the less likely it is to pass...
...Multinational firms doing business in India make a different calculation.

The biggest barrier has been a classic “not in my backyard” mentality. Many Cape Cod residents protested against the farm, arguing that these wind turbines will tarnish their ocean views, thereby lowering their property values.
