Ack! Ok so the time got away from me. Weddings! I blame weddings! My own (I’m getting married, something I have been loath to blog about ’til now) and other peoples’. I’m convinced that we’re all slaves to a zeitgeist – we pick up on what everyone else is doing, and subconsciously (or consciously) make [...]

I did a segment on NPR’s Living on Earth show today, talking about the potential environmental effects of Obama’s infrastructure ‘Stimulus Plan B.” You can listen to it here.

I hit the Fox Business studio yesterday to talk with Brian Sullivan about Obama’s plans for high speed rail. Just imagine if we could get around the U.S. without having to sit in some airport purgatory breathing re-processed air and downing earwax-flavored food. Yeah, I can’t really imagine it [...]
