I found a really interesting documentary about food production and genetic modification of foods. I think that there is a lot to be learned from this film, and a great deal that you will find that you didn’t know about genetically modified foods and the practices of the companies that engineer them. I think that you will find that you will want to be more choosy about what foods you eat, and where they come from.
The film is 1 hour 29 minutes long.

While you are watching this, keep in mind also that glaciologists and climate scientists now believe that it is soot that has helped glaciers melt so quickly.

Sean Hannity is out protecting the little guy by deciding that the fish (including salmon and smelt) in the river need to be sacrificed so that the water can go to watering crops during a drought. Yeah…help people’s crops too late, kill all the fish, and create an unsustainable water issue. Great way to look out for the little guy.

Though there are quite a number of areas where their ideal wind generation is very far from population centers, the potential to generate the great majority of our power using is amazing. President Obama should put a moratorium on the building of any coal, oil, or nuclear power plants to make room for this.
Here is news of the study from the National Academy of Science:

“Large-scale development of wind power in China could allow for close to an 18-fold increase in electricity supply relative to consumption reported for 2005,” the researchers write. “The bulk of this wind power, 89%, could be derived from onshore installations. The potential for wind power in the U.S. is even greater, 23 times larger than current electricity consumption, the bulk of which, 84%, could be supplied onshore.”
