...country's greenhouse gas emissions. That's just due to the coal plants already operating - as the U.S. looks to expand its energy supply to meet rising demand in the future, over 100 coal plants are in various stages of development around the country. If those plants are built without the means to capture and sequester underground the carbon they emit - and it's far from clear that such technology will be commercially viable in the near-term - our ambitious goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and avert climate change will be meaningless...

The local markets' produce comes from somewhere else, and the cost of living is inflated by residents' foreign salaries, which are easily 10 times local wages.

The Israelis kept mum about their reasons for attacking the site, but the U.S. let it be known that the target was a secret nuclear reactor being built with North Korean assistance - a claim that was widely viewed through the prism of false U.S. claims about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction and the Bush Administration's animus toward Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime over its support for Hizballah and Palestinian radical groups, as well as its failure...
