Dallas to power inner-city block with solar and wind
With the World Environment Day coming up tomorrow, Dallas has a lot to celebrate. A neglected parking lot across the street from City Hall will next year become the home of the nation’s first self-sustainable inner-city block.
“I’d like to see Dallas be at the forefront of design, sustainability and vibrancy of cities”, said Mayor Tom Leppert.
Indeed. The block, that aims to change the economic, social and ecological face of Dallas, will run “off the grid” using wind, solar, water and geothermal energy resources, and 176 architecture firms across 26 countries competed to provide the design.
“The quality of the thought and effort of the designing teams is astounding”, said John Greenan, Executive Director of Central Dallas Community Development Corporation (CDC), a lead developer for the project.

The oligarchs openly talking about a coup d'état in America?
Multi-millionaire lobbyist Grover Norquist is calling for the impeachment of President Obama. In an interview with the right-wing National Journal - Norquist warned that if President Obama wins re-election and decides to let the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% expire at the end of the year - then Republicans will "have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach [him]."What does that mean? It means that the super rich in America - and their political operatives like Norquist in Washington, DC - have now compared a tiny tax increase on the wealthy to high crimes and treason - the only Constitutional basis Congress can use to impeach a President. It sounds like the oligarchs are now openly talking about a coup d'état in America.-Thom(Do you think will try it? Tell us here.) -

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
