...said Robert J. Blendon, a professor at HSPH and director of the survey program. “But Americans are following the news closely, that’s for sure.” Of the populations surveyed, parents with children under 18 years old in school remain the most concerned. Half the parents reported not receiving any information from the schools regarding the steps they are taking to reduce the possible spread of the flu. According to Blendon, the survey aimed to gather information on how people respond to crisis so that public officials can be more effective. Knowing that...
...Science study doesn't take into account other impacts that bioelectricity might have compared to ethanol, like water consumption or air pollution. Growing biomass, even on marginal agricultural land, does require water, as does making electricity. There's a bigger problem - electric cars still remain few and far between, while there are already millions of U.S. vehicles on the road that can run on an ethanol blend.

...just because members of Bush's inner circle might remain united in their faith that their policies were sound doesn't mean that they agree about who is best positioned to argue their case in public now. In fact, some former Bush Administration officials are relieved Rice spoke up because she does a better job, in their view, of representing the former President's thinking than Cheney. "Condi's view is more nuanced, and it's a more accurate reflection of President Bush's thinking - Cheney's take is his own," says one former Bush official familiar with the internal...
