Global Warming and Energy

The government runs a project that it claims is about developing fusion power. But now we find out that is not its primary purpose.

"In a New York Times letter last month, Thomas P. D'Agostino, administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration, and Penrose C. Albright, the Lawrence Livermore director, asserted that " the fact is" that NIF "was conceived, designed, built and funded to conduct experiments that help replicate the conditions found inside nuclear weapons" and that fusion energy, though important, "has never been its primary purpose.""

This is more government funded scientific fraud.

BP makes deal accepting manslaughter charges for Gulf Oil spill. AG Holder has issued indictments for several BP officials. Good. The only question I have is why nobody higher than VP was indicted. It's possible that higher ups didn't know about the breaking of regulations there, but I doubt it. It seems like the plutocrats might have skated. This might be the first aspect of Obama's response to the spill that isn't terrible.

Since the housing recovery is going so well, not, Obama names HUD director as the next squanderer of hurricane Sandy assistance.
