The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

Rolling Blackouts In Our Future?

Over at ChicagoBoyz is a discussion of electrical power in our future.  The author, "Carl from Chicago", talks about bad deregulation in the US and uses Pakistan as an example of how bad it could be if we don't get our act together.  In Pakistan demand for electricity exceeds supply by a factor of 3 to 1.  Electrical power is a system, consisting of Generation, Transmission and (local) Distribution.  All three have to be in good working order for the kitchen light to come on.

If one thinks AGW is here and hot and humid days are it's herald, then a solid and stable electricity supply should be of interest.
