Anne Northup’s hearing before the Senate will take place Wednesday. Can’t wait to hear all the questions she won’t be asked about whether she’s qualified to be a part of the Consumer Production Safety Commission. Wonder if this in some way could help her husband’s fancy radio business? [C-J]

Speaking of coal and coal power plants: the piece at the link below is titled: “Coal Ash is More Radioactive Than Nuclear Waste”, By Mara Hvistendahl, Scientific American. Very scary stuff.

Article is not scary at all! Still says there is virtually no risk for radiation poisoining from either nuclear or coal powered power plants.
Read past the headline!

Derek’s right — article winds up pointing out that the serious health risk of radiation from fly ash is very remote.
That said — I don’t like the article at all. Lots of statistics without attribution, and no context for some of them.
One other note — I wish we would have an INTELLIGENT discussion about how to get from an energy policy based on coal to one based on something else. We can’t just leap there; it’s too far. But, we can’t stay where we are, either; it’s too dangerous.
Both sides just shout their position, without working together to get us from Here to There. Bleah.
