"Oh far-off day of American freedom, when Karl Marx could write for the morning Tribune in New York, and Kropotkin could not only be published in the Atlantic, but be received as a guest in the homes of New England Unitarians, and in Jane Addams' Hull House in Chicago."
- Dorthy Day, Loaves and Fishes, 1963.

The House Ways and Means Committee has dropped the hybrid tax break from the next budget. It's not needed because people will buy hybrids without the government's help. Turns out the people still need $75,000 worth of help buying SUVs.

(For comparison's sake, the hybrid tax deduction is a piddly $2,000.)

A while back I switched to Pepco's 100% Green Electricity, but I didn't really know what type of renewables they were using.

Well, Pepco just sent out an 'Environmental Information Report' that includes a breakdown of energy sources. It turns out the apartment's running off 100% captured methane now.

Pwanville's running off cow power !
