low carbon-emitting technologies, such as wind and hydroelectric power, may not yield much of a reduction in global warming
I do not believe that global warming theory is all a scam and giant conspiracy on the part of liberals to take away our freedoms, but neither do I believe that the sky is falling immediately and that the science is settled once and for all and we must do something drastic. I tend to believe the theory is valid but overstated. I also believe that there has been a concerted effort to make the science fit a conclusion and to stifle descent. How is one who is himself not a scientist to know what to believe?
Below are two informative articles about environmental issues:
Low-carbon technologies ‘no quick-fix’, says researchers at The Institute of Physics is a new study.
A drastic switch to low carbon-emitting technologies, such as wind and hydroelectric power, may not yield a reduction in global warming until the latter part of this century, research published today suggests. Low-carbon technologies ‘no quick-fix’, say researchers Furthermore, it states that technologies that offer only modest reductions in greenhouse gases, such as the use of natural gas and perhaps carbon capture and storage, cannot substantially reduce climate risk in the next 100 years. "Achieving substantial reductions in temperatures relative to the coal-based system will take the better part of a century, and will depend on rapid and massive deployment of some mix of conservation, wind, solar, and nuclear, and possibly carbon capture and storage," the researchers write.This is not some opinion by some right-wing partisan or a coal industry funded study. Even if one accept completely the global warming theory, then the questions becomes what do we do about it. There are no simple answers.
UT Researchers Find China’s Pollution Related to E-Cars May Be More Harmful than Gasoline Cars.
Electric cars have been heralded as environmentally friendly, but findings from University of Tennessee, Knoxville, researchers show that electric cars in China have an overall impact on pollution that could be more harmful to health than gasoline vehicles.So much of environmentalism seems to be based on faulty assumptions and a desire to do something even if is wrong. I think few would now argue that ethanol produced from corn is beneficial to the environment but we spend million upon millions requiring ethanol in our gasoline which led to poisoning of the Gulf of Mexico, poor land management practices and third world hunger due to an artificial increase in the demand for corn. The newest environmental folly may be the electric automobile.

The Tennessean's Report on Brady Banks' Political Future
Brady Banks' political future unclear after arrest in prostitution sting | The Tennessean | tennessean.com
I agree with the opinions of Councilman Robert Duvall and others quoted in this story. Now is not the time to call for Bank's resignation. Now is not the time to pile on. Banks needs to put off any decision on his political future and work on his marriage. He does need to issue a statement soon however. He needs to say something.

Update 2: Councilman Brady Banks Arrested on Patronizing Prostitution Charge
 |
| Brady Banks |
Banks, 33, is accused of paying $100 to a female undercover officer in exchange
for sex. Banks met the undercover officer in a hotel room after responding
to an escort service ad posted by the police department on the Internet.
He was arrested at 4:40 p.m.
Banks is one of three men arrested during the sting today. Also charged
were Matthew Moynihan, 38, of Hendersonville (arrested at 3:50 p.m.), and Jyotin
Arora, 37, of Hermitage (arrested at 9:50 a.m.).
Banks’ bond was set by a judicial commissioner at $1,000. The same bond
was set for Moynihan and Arora.
Update 2/17/2012: Brady Banks today resigned his job as Director of the non-profit Governor's Books from Birth Foundation. Councilman Banks and his wife had a baby a couple of months ago. The prostitution charge is a misdemeanor. There is nothing in the Metro Charter that would force Mr. Banks to resign his council seat as a result of this arrest.

Help protect our religious liberty: "WE ARE ALL CATHOLICS NOW"
The following alert is reposted from an email received from J. Lee Douglas of the Nine-12 Project Nashville group.
We need your help to protect our religious liberty.
Appropriately, Beck has begun a movement called "WE ARE ALL CATHOLICS NOW". The
main goal of the initiative is to ask Americans to reach out to
Congressional leaders
(at the moment your Senators) to encourage the passage of Legislation
that would protect religious groups' Conscience Rights.
Please Contact your Senators offices and Speak to whoever answers:
1. Tell them that you want to tell the Senator to vote for the Blunt Conscience Protection Amendment.
2. Ask them if they know how the Senator will vote on that amendment
3. Tell them you want to be contacted back about how he voted (be sure to ask for accountability - - they hate it, but it makes
them call back).
4. When you call, be sure to
tell them "we are all Catholics now". This key phrase will let them know you are part of a larger, organized movement working in support of religious freedom.
Thanks
to each and everyone. This is one of the most important issues of our
time. WE CA N NOT ALLOW THEM TO TAKE OUR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AWAY. WE
MUST STAND UP AND FIGHT!!!!!!!!!

Janis Sontany to leave TN legislature | In Session
We need a good Republican candidate to run for this open seat. Is Tonya Miller still interested? She ran against Janis in 2010. She has lots of contacts with the immigrant community and is bilingual and should poll well in the Hispanic community. Is Tony Tenpenny interested? I suspect Anna Page, former Metro Councilman, may be interested as a Democrat nominee.
