By next year, El Hierro, a volcanic formation off the coast of Africa, will become the first island in the world to be electrically self-sufficient, producing all its power from a combination of wind power and a single battery.
The tiny Spanish island of El Hierro, off the coast of Africa, is so remote that until America was discovered in the late 15th century, Europeans considered the island the last outpost of land in the known world. It is so isolated that until recently bouts of hunger sent inhabitants fleeing to Venezuela, not Europe.

Columbia got its first dose of wind power yesterday. It wasn't much more than a puff, but for those working to make it happen, it felt great.
This is a terrific step forward and a demonstration of our attitude and responsibilities on sustainable power," Mayor Darwin Hindman said. "This will be one of our energy components for many, many years.

Ocala (Fla.) Star-Banner, Oct. 10:

Two years ago, a common refrain among the state's environmentalists and alternative energy advocates was that PNM didn't own any renewable energy resources. It bought wind energy "credits" from a plant in southern New Mexico, owned by a Florida company, while continuing to sink money into the air-polluting San Juan Generating Station near Farmington. Today, however, PNM operates five solar plants in addition to the Prosperity Energy Storage Project. Projects like the Santa Fe Community Convention Center's new solar installation-expected to meet 10 percent of the facility's energy needs- are popping up through partnerships between PNM and private solar companies. And with good reason: This year, the Solar Energy Industries Association ranked New Mexico fourth in the nation for its 2011 s...

The editorial in the March 24 issue reads in part "Leininger's beloved proposal to offer publicly funded vouchers for poor kids to attend private schools." ["V for Voucher Vendetta"] In the same issue, Dave Mann writes, "Leininger-close to achieving his long sought goal of providing publicly funded vouchers for poor kids to attend private schools..." ["Wrath of the Soccer Moms"] A week earlier, W. Gardner Selby, writing in the Austin American-Statesman, made a similar statement.
Does James Leininger really want to help poor kids? Several years ago I wrote in these pages that "Compassionate Conservatism is an oxymoron ranking right up there with Friendly Fire." We know that our conservative Republican rulers excel at framing public policy issues, are committed to privatization, don't wan...
