In its keenness to woo Republicans with nuclear-friendly policies, the Obama administration plans to hand out $54.5 billion in government-backed loans to jump-start a nuclear renaissance.

Last week I wrote about how U.S. President Barack Obama will be attending a Copenhagen discussion on international global warming concerns; this week that news seems to be a bit drowned out, what with “Climate Gate” owning headlines and the blogosphere, and all.

Well the question remains will the Democrats be able to push their new health plan and while the fat lady has still not sang, the signs are making it look very unlikely. The estimated amount of Americans under the age of 65 who would sign up for the public option plan rather than a private [...]

Last week House Democrats passed a 1,990 page legislation measure which will extend health care to millions who cannot afford coverage. It imposes large restrictions on private insurance companies and presents a government-run option, for those in need, or who opt for such.

Coinciding with President Obama’s pushing of a brand new climate bill, certain specific evidence, concerning global cooling, is being rejected by statisticians.
