Comment on: Video 'Jeremy Rifkin - The Empathic Civilisation': prices is only $10 to $15. We must still face the overwhelming fact that global energy supply is on a knife-edge regardless of events in the Gulf - with no relief in sight. The IEA warned in its annual report that energy demand will rise 40pc by 2035. The world must invest $1.5 trillion just to avoid a lethal crunch. Even then prices are likely to rise “viciously” unless nuclear power and the renewable family of hydro, wind, and solar can come to the rescue. Fukushima has killed nuclear expansion in Japan, Germany, and beyond. The green drive has faltered, oddly vilified in this country by conservatives who should be its natural defenders.…; Added by Michael Grove at 6:42 on March 5, 2012

Comment on: Blog Post 'SUMMARY OF THE UKRAINE SITUATION TODAY': fficult standstill — not least because of wavering U.S. support. If Congress cuts off support, Ukraine could well collapse later this year. Yet Ukraine remains strong in many ways. It has continued to stymie the Kremlin’s greatest ambitions for taking over the country. While the going is tough today, there is no cause for fatalism. Much has been made of Ukraine’s disappointing 2023 counteroffensive. But given the strength of defenses on both sides, its failure was no huge surprise. Defense is simply stronger than offense at this stage of the war and, because of this, Ukraine might be able to hang on to most or all of the 82 percent of the pre-2014 territory it now holds, even with constrained military supplies. Yet, as the recent loss of Avdiivka demonstrates, Ukraine might struggle in the event of a complete cutoff of U.S. assistance. The pace of setbacks could accelerate with little warning; like Ernest Hemingway’s quip about bankruptcy, defeat could occur gradually, then suddenly. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/02/21/ukraine-russia-war-strengths/…; Added by Michael Grove at 9:34 on February 22, 2024

Comment on: Blog Post 'Simple IS ...': vantage of social isolation and unmet needs, scammers are using ever more sophisticated methods to tailor their grifts and blanket Americans with requests for money, gift cards, cryptocurrency, and personal information. Scammers often bring up sensitive topics such as romance, immigration, and finances to rile victims into a state of heightened emotion. This simple, devastating approach can make people act less rational than they would otherwise. The schemes can target specific insecurities: For people who are struggling financially, a get-rich-quick proposal might be compelling. For a recent college graduate, the promise of a well-paying job could be impossible to resist. And for a grandparent, a voice on the line saying their grandchild is in danger might trigger an urgent response. https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/archive/2024/03/how-america-got-scammed/677810/?utm_campaign=atlantic-daily-newsletter&utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=20240319&utm_term=The+Atlantic+Daily…; Added by Michael Grove at 9:51 on March 21, 2024

Comment on: Video 'Rainbow Warriors': realize that at the center of the universe dwells Wakan-Taka (the Great Spirit), and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us. This is the real peace, and the others are but reflections of this. The second peace is that which is made between two individuals, and the third is that which is made between two nations. But above all you should understand that there can never be peace between nations until there is known that true peace, which, as I have often said, is within the souls of men."
