POPSEverything Dolphin The Endangered Species Act requires the US federal government to identify species threatened with extinction, identify habitat they need to survive, and help protect both. In doing so, the Act works to ensure the basic health of our natural ecosystems and protect the legacy of conservation we leave to our children and grandchildren.

POPSEPA Refuses to Cut Ethanol Requirements "Response to the decision fell along predictable lines: The Environmental Working Group's director of government affairs, Sandra Schubert, called the mandate "misguided" and said it was "forcing farmers to plow up marginal land and wildlife habitat while increasing global warming and dumping toxic fertilizers and pesticides into our precious water sources." "America should be focusing on viable clean energy solutions like conservation, solar and wind," she said. The president of the Biotechnology Industry Organization, Jim Greenwood, said the decision sent "a strong message that we must continue moving forward toward sustainable production of advanced biofuels" to cut dependence on important oil and to increase biofuel production from non-food sources. His organization represents biotech companies, among others involved in expanding the use of biofuels.""

POPSMcCain still mocks tire-inflation efficiency "In fact, as Time reported the other day, it could actually be better than new drilling -- if everyone did it we'd consume three percent less fuel, while drilling would only meet one percent of our needs." And as you know, Senator, Obama never claimed it was an energy policy; he was pointing out that drilling produces an increase so small we could beat it for free. This all ya got? Misleading zingers? Policies so limp that freebies can do better?

POPSElectro-Magnetic Skyscrapers
In this futuristic scenario controlled Electro Magnetic force (E.M.) will be a key element in the building industry. This controlled E.M. force will free humanity from the need to waste our planet resources by making the E.M. technology the ultimate sustainable method. E.M. Structures will be able to support each other simply by pure physical magnetism that can also direct electricity. By using magnetic fields as a construction material there can be Infinite vertical and horizontal expansions due to the final liberation from gravity. Tokyo was chosen to set the first example for the rest of the world in building a series of Electro-Magnetic Skyscrapers and these buildings will be able to migrate like birds. Self sufficient energy cubes will provide the basic needs to the community. By using built-in energy resources in every E.M. Cube (such as photovoltaic cells on the sides of the cube, Wind turbines, air shafts forcing wind into energy, water conservation tanks etc.)

POPSPandas an Evolutionary Mistake? Pandas have been ridiculed for their decidedly non-bearlike vegetarian diets, their apparent lack of interest in—and aptitude for—sex, their tendency to spend the majority of their time sitting, eating, scratching (video), and defecating (about 40 times per day)—even for being, shall we say, plump.

POPSPelosi Shrugs Off Continued GOP Protests... Not for one minute do I believe that the Republicans are against Pelosi's last clipped comment. The difference is the lifting of the offshore drilling legislation....which Boehner, correctly, knows would past. THAT's the entire reason for this disgusting failure to complete their responsibilities before they left for their vacations. It has nothing to do with any of the other options she mentioned. This woman *wants* the economy to slide so that she can falsely lay the blame on the President and the GOP.

POPS(Don't move ma) "I'm the king of the world!!!" In this photo provided by the Wildlife Conservation Society, a baby gorilla shouts from atop its mother's back in the Republic of Congo. A new census conducted by WCS and the government of the Republic of Congo tallied more than 125,000 western lowland gorillas in the northern part of the country.
