		<title>Should I buy a hybrid?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Car sales are down in the United States. I don&#8217;t think we should be surprised. If you&#8217;re only a few years into payments on your SUV it&#8217;s unlikely that, with the extra pinch of gas prices, you have enough extra money just lying around to simply get rid of the car you&#8217;ve got and get [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sitting under a hornet&#8217;s nest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Out of date, now, this was lost in my drafts section. Remember when the now ignored Baker-Hamilton report came out suggesting what we should do in Iraq? I&#8217;ve got to hand it to the Bush administration. They got out of that rather well&#8211;they simply ignored it. I guess being a lame duck president means that [...]]]></description>

		<title>All I wanted was a compact</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The travel agent we use for business travel got back to me for a recent trip and explained that she had upgraded me to a mid-size car instead of the compact I had requested. &#8220;Between you and me, I think mid-size is really a compact. Anyway, it was only $2 more.&#8221; I told her that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Now more convenient: new Energy category added</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the last few years I&#8217;ve written now and again about energy. A little before the first post on energy I started working in the power industry and it&#8217;s been a fascinating adventure. My instincts for understanding things stem from my physics training and that usually means reductionism. Reduce interactions to as few rules as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wind or hot air</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While discussing the the benefits of offshore wind instead of oil,
In One Ear&#8230; Out the other writes &#8220;This means the decommissioning of many harmful coal plants along the coast who have the added problem of having to ship in coal.&#8221;
Would that that were true. Planting off shore wind turbines doesn&#8217;t mean we get to shut [...]]]></description>

		<title>I probably won&#8217;t die trying</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m pretty sure it’s genetic. Or maybe it was my father’s chain smoking while I was young, but I have never been particularly athletic. To prove it, this year I am giving a try at finding out just how much of a wimp I really am. I’m running and biking regularly and keeping track of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Catch up on my reading</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You&#8217;d never know it from my reviews, but I actually have been reading a bit now and then. Here look, I&#8217;ll prove it:
Tropic of Cancer, Henry Miller. Amazingly poetic, raunchy, funny, barely intelligible at times, almost pointless, but quite fantastic. Oh, and you can read this online!
Freakonomics, Stepehn Levitt and Stephen Dubner. Thought provoking. You [...]]]></description>

		<title>An invisible obstacle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hilary Clinton announced on Saturday, &#8220;Although we weren&#8217;t able to shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling this time, thanks to you, it&#8217;s got about 18 million cracks in it.&#8221; The Washington Post thinks that was part of her best speech yet and muses what things would have been like had she played this card, the [...]]]></description>

		<title>They really are outlaws</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I like motorcycles. After all, I learned how to ride a motorcycle before I learned how to ride a bicycle. I had a cooler-than-I-knew Indian (I was five and Indian wasn&#8217;t as cool yet, plus it was a really little one.) and a cooler-than-anyone-bothered-to-notice MV Augusta. (Mine was modeled after a real full-size bike and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Burning question</title>
		<description><![CDATA[General Motors has spent piles of money on it&#8217;s questionable advertising campaign &#8220;Live Green, Go Yellow&#8221; to promote the use of renewable bio-fuels. When I &#8216;go yellow&#8217; it&#8217;s usually a hint that I am not drinking enough water, but whatever. My real question is does using bio-fuel help reduce carbon?
Coal, oil, and other fossil fuels [...]]]></description>
