...from "environmental impact" to "energy impact," but in the end, Big Energy's going to build them - if the money's there. Over the next 4-6 years or so, the energy industry will take a look at energy prices - the only real engine for increased production in any capitalist economy - and slowly start placing its bets...
...capitalism. No nukes this time. Instead, the target was technology for an advanced consumer-phone system. Arrested in the incident were a trio of business partners, all Chinese immigrants, including two employed by New Jersey-based Lucent Technologies. They had dreamed of an American shortcut to their country's capitalist road. In an e-mail pitch to Beijing venture capitalists, one of the accused said their company would become "the Cisco of China...

The Progressive Student Labor Movement (PSLM) has misappropriated their legacy. PSLM’s campaign against the harsh realities of the capitalist economy is certainly noble. But the living wage issue lacks both the gravity and urgency necessary to justify the sit-in that is now taking place. PSLM has done a disservice to its cause and to today’s generation of students by using our weapon of last resort...
