...affordable, develop alternative sources of energy, and limit greenhouse- gas emissions is “perhaps the greatest non sequitur ever foisted upon the American people.” (In a non sequitur of my own, I wish that Krauthammer had been so sensitive to non sequiturs during the Bush administration, when a terrorist attack by Saudi nationals became justification for a war in Iraq.) While Krauthammer is right that “at the very center of our economic near-depression is a credit bubble, a housing collapse and a systemic failure of the banking industry...

...those acres into energy, like collection mechanisms, processing plants, distribution systems. My friend dutifully tends his jatropha trees and then watches the seeds fall on the ground and die. In his case, the spindly physic-nut shrubs in his garden are supplanting a fragrant frangipani tree or colorful hibiscus bush. But elsewhere in Burma - a nation where UNICEF estimates malnutrition afflicts one-third of children - farmers have had to put aside valuable crop land for a wasted plant...
