As the Vice President pointed out in his 170 page report of the National Energy Policy Development Group, America's appetite for coal, oil and nuclear power will require production of a new power plant each week for the next 20 years.

"I think it's just the way they are born," says Catherine Tuerk, a mental-health nurse who runs a Washington support group for parents of kids who are gender-atypical. Her group has nine families at the moment, and Tuerk encourages them to support their children's unconventional gender expression "in a world where they will be stigmatized...
