HARRISBURG -- To Virginia Cody, a retired Air Force captain from Wyoming County and an anti-drilling activist, it doesn't matter whether Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati repays Consol Energy Inc. for his trip to the Super Bowl in Texas.
It infuriates me," said Cody, 55, a Republican. "The industry has unfettered access to our legislators.

PRESQUE ISLE Benjamin Dutil, who will be one of the pioneer graduates from Northern Maine Community Colleges wind power technology program on May 14, has heard most of the criticisms and myths about wind power. The one that rankles him the most, however, is the belief that students in the program are training for jobs that arent out there.
I think that what they hear about our job prospects is going to deflate that myth, the 36-year-old, who moved to Ashland from Winslow to enroll in the program two years ago, said during a recent interview. The jobs are out there. I am proof, and so are a number of my fellow graduates.

WASHINGTON - More than 32 mostly coal-fired power plants in a dozen states will be forced to shut down and an additional 36 might have to close because of new federal air pollution regulations, according to an Associated Press survey.
Together, those plants - some of the oldest and dirtiest in the country - produce enough electricity for more than 22 million households, the AP survey found. But their demise probably won't cause homes to go dark.

Believe it or not, our positioning on a national boarder makes Detroit a national player in this global economy. This project will allow Marathon to accept thick and viscous oil from Canada, via pipeline, and diversify its production of its oil supply. Marathon is already the largest alternative fuel producer in its industry, and by increasing its oil supply, Marathon, and the rest of us by default, is in a better position to maximize its products. This is the automotive capital of the world, right? And the last time we checked, Detroit's automotive industry was taking it on the chin.
The Detroit City Council, the state and environmental groups are right to insist on assurance that the community is safe from environmental harm and that there is environmental justice, but their energy wo...
