POPSTwo Large Solar Projects Planned for California While I'm not extremely keen on these sort of plants -- there's no real reason to centralize solar generation like this -- it's nice to see that solar's being taken seriously. Given recent advances in photovoltaic technology, the price is coming down enough for it to be put anywhere the sun shines. In other words, there's no reason to use up huge expanses of land when you can do the same thing on rooftops. Still, any time new generating capacity comes from green tech, it's good news.

POPSThe Truth about Wal-Mart, continued Since that long thread of differing opinions about the 'Merikan Dream and Wally world where I was attacked as being a non-productive, lazy Hippie (untrue--I was a semi-productive, Happy Hippie), I found this interesting, informative Anti-Wally site....see if you can defend these charges about Wally's relationship with Communist/monopoly Capitalist China and the US consumer rip=off, Willie, Esundby, and the rest of you bozos who think I was some non-productive lazy Hippie all my life.

POPSWal-Mart Against Union and Democrats For 100 years and with much success, American Corporations have killed any kind of Union Movement. Democracies without Independent Working Representation are no real democracies at all. They are than dependent on politicians and the judicial system. Every man and woman for themselves and the corporations against all. Unfair, to say the least.

POPSMcGovern Admits to Heresy
Cont... It can be galling to hear companies argue that they have to cut wages and benefits for hourly workers – even as they reward top executives with millions of dollars in stock options. The chief executive of Wal-Mart earns $27 million a year, while the company’s average worker takes home only about $10 an hour. But let’s assume that the chief executive got 27 cents instead of $27 million, and that Wal-Mart distributed the savings to its hourly workers. They would each receive a bonus of less than $20. It’s not executive pay that has created this new world.The current frenzy over Wal-Mart is instructive.Its size is unprecedented.Yet for all its billions in profit, it still amounts to less than four cents on the dollar.Raise the cost of employing people, and the company will eliminate jobs.Its business model only works on low prices, which require low labor costs. ...Consumers continue to enjoy these low prices and thousands of applicants continue to apply for those jobs.

POPSthe right path to solar yes yes yes! this is a great step in the right direction. we need more money to offer greater incentives to increase solar installation, and that money should definitely be coming out of the windfall oil profits.

POPSWalmart goes local They've always had a brilliant distribution system. It is great that they're able to add this layer of complexity to it. I hope it does benefit local organic growers and does not turn them into one crop wonders.

POPSWal-Mart Warns Of Democratic Win The actions by America's largest private employer reflect a growing concern among big business in the U.S. that a reinvigorated labor movement under a Democrat presidency could reverse years of declining union membership.

POPSDemocracy Without Unions= No Democracy Wal-Mart is at it all the time. They even have a rapid response team against attempts to unionize. Law suits drag on for decades against that creepy establishment. Working People Deserve Working Representation independent from Politicians, Always.
