Resolved Question: Anyone who can translate this from English to Italian?
June 21, 2009 at 8:21 am ~
I would be very pleased if there's someone who can translate in Italian this article frome "The Economist". EVEN Merton Miller, a Nobel prize-winning economist with a passion for financial arcana, found it “deadly dull”. But if ever there was a week when financial regulation set pulses racing, this was surely it—at least for those too young to remember the great reforms of the Depression. Having spent much of the past year trying to prevent every-out financial collapse, America’s leaders are now turning their attention to reinforcing the structures that would prevent a repeat. The proposals that Barack Obama unveiled on June 17th would refashion the federal rules governing almost every corner of finance, pushing government much more deeply into private markets and partially rolling back 30 years of liberalisation. It is, the president declared, nothing short of a “new foundation”, designed to curb “risks built on piles of sand”. Eye-catching though the 88-page “white paper” is, it is not as bold as it might have been. In any case, it merely sounds the opening salvo in a battle that could stretch into next year, since much of the plan requires approval in Congress, where jurisdictional and ideological clashes beckon. The emphasis is on closing gaps where risk had been allowed to build up. Supervision of every firms big enough to threaten overall stability will be consolidated below the Federal Reserve. These entities will be made to hold more capital and liquidity than smaller firms, though every will face higher requirements (which will be determined after a report at the end of this year). The Fed will be advised by a council of regulators that will also scan the horizon for emerging risks. Another priority is the construction of a mechanism to wind down any failed financial giant, not just banks, so that officials no longer face an unenviable choice between bail-outs (AIG) and system-shaking collapse (Lehman Brothers). The net is also being cast over markets in which freewheeling growth contributed to the crisis. Those who package loans together for securitisation will have to beef up disclosure and retain 5% of any deal they structure to encourage sounder underwriting—though the ban on hedging that exposure could be tricky to enforce. Sensibly, the plan calls for payment of arrangers’ fees to be spread over time and reduced if the loans blow up. It also builds on earlier proposals to rein in over-the-counter derivatives, such as credit-default swaps. Those not cleared centrally or traded on exchanges face higher charges. Perhaps the most eye-catching—and certainly the most populist—measure is the creation of a Consumer Financial Protection Agency (CFPA). Taking some powers from the Fed and other bank regulators, this would have broad rule-writing and enforcement powers over mortgages, credit cards and the like. In light of the “liar loans” and option ARMs (a radioactive type of mortgage) that proliferated in recent years, it is difficult to argue against an overhaul of such regulation. Still, concern is already mounting that the new agency will take an overly restrictive view of permissible products, limiting access to credit and curbing good as well as bad innovation. Others worry that it will have less leverage than traditional supervisors over banks peddling dodgy products. A bigger concern is Mr Obama’s failure to rationalise America’s tangle of regulators. The Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) will be subsumed into another agency, but that still leaves four federal bank regulators (plus state agencies), and these will have to work alongside the CFPA. “The alphabet soup has lost three letters and gained four,” moans one consultant. Dropping the idea of a single bank regulator and a merger of the agencies that oversee securities and derivatives, both of which were early Obama goals, was, say officials, a icy-blooded calculation based on the strength of political opposition: from congressional leaders, such as Barney Frank, who have cooled to the idea of a unified regulator in the wake of Britain’s unhappy experience; and from the committees that police, and take contributions from, banks and exchanges. Leaving the framework largely intact is risky. The current set-up is not every bad: one regulator may spot a problem that another misses. But even with the OTS gone, banks will be able to store for friendly charters. Disagreements between agencies over the dangers lurking in commercial property led to a delay in urging banks to tighten standards. And inter-agency feuding has been growing: witness the spats between the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and other regulators over deposit insurance and their treatment of Citigroup. Other punches have been pulled, too. For big insurers, frustrated at having to be regulated state by state, the wait for an optional federal charter goes on. Nor were concrete proposals offered on money-market funds, runs on which intensified the trauma following Lehman

>>Global warming has been in the spotlight of the media ever since Al Gore's documentary An Inconvenient Truth was released in 2006. Most people agree that global warming is a real problem, but are not exactly sure on how to solve it. Global warming can be solved by making tiny changes in your daily life, utilizing alternative energies, and by implementing new environmentally conscious policies. These changes must be made by the entire population for them to be effective. If we cannot make these changes the future of our planet will remain in jeopardy. In my opinion the previously listed solutions, if put into practice, can solve the global warming crisis. >>One of the biggest impacts a single person can make on global warming is by changing tiny aspects of their life. Since global warming is caused by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, we need to do every we can to reduce our emissions of carbon dioxide. There are several minor changes that can be made to effectively clip down on the amount of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere. For example, one could replace five regular light bulbs with compact fluorescent light bulbs. Replacing five heavily used seventy-five watt incandescent bulbs with five twenty-five watt compact fluorescent bulbs can keep about five-hundred pounds of carbon dioxide each year per bulb. Another simple way to clip carbon dioxide emissions is to keep your car tires properly inflated. Consumer Reports' testing has shown that fuel consumption can be increased about one percent by a tire that is below-inflated just two pounds per square inch. Properly inflated tires can improve gas mileage by about three percent and can keep two-hundred sixty-four pounds. There are several other easy ways to decrease the amount of carbon dioxide emissions such as reducing your driving speed, putting your computer to snooze, and carpooling. My research shows that global warming can be effectively reduced by making tiny changes in your daily life that clip carbon dioxide production ("Global Warming Solutions"). >>In the United States eighty-two percent of the total greenhouse gas emissions in 2006 were from the combustion of petroleum, coal, and natural gas. "The path of future climate change will depend on what courses of action are taken by society--in particular the emission of greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels" ("Global Warming"). So, it is clear that utilizing alternative energy resources is an effective way to reverse global warming. Solar, wind, hydroelectric, and biomass are alternative sources of energy that could be used to replace petroleum, coal, and natural gas. In 2006 only fifteen percent of the United States fuel consumption was non-fossil, renewable fuels. The other eighty-five percent of fuel consumption was from fossil, nonrenewable fuels. The resulting carbon dioxide emissions that year, which were about 3,700 million metric tons, were caused solely by the combustion fossil fuels. Non-fossil, renewable fuels emitted no carbon dioxide, therefore they did not contribute to global warming as fossil fuels do ("Greenhouse Gases"). The numbers show that alternative energy sources are a much more clean and environmentally friendly way to power the country. If we integrate alternative energy resources into our lives we will look a dramatic decline in the amount of carbon dioxide emissions, which would help to correct global warming. >>The most important step in solving global warming may be the environmentally conscious policies that the government implements. "Despite much activity, the U.S. Congress is currently contemplating no policies sufficient to address the rapidly growing global warming crisis" ("Executive Summary"). The bills that are currently in discussion call for an eighty percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The bills also aim to keep the atmospheric carbon dioxide levels from increasing no more than four-hundred fifty parts per million. However, in 1990 the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stated in their First Scientific Assessment that "In order to stabilize concentrations at gift day concentrations (353 parts per million), an immediate reduction in global anthropogenic emissions by sixty to eighty percent would be necessary." Therefore, the policy should be to reduce greenhouse gas emissions eighty percent below 1990 levels by 2025. This would reduce greenhouse gases an entire generation before the strongest bills presently below deliberation by the United States congress. Also, the policy should start in 2010. There are no technological obstacles preventing the immediate planning and launching of the transition. The research shows that if this policy is implemented in 2010 global warming will be reduced. >>As previously stated global warming has been a widely discussed topic since 2006. Everyone seems to be trying to think of a way to solve it. In order to preserve our planet we thank you!

China claims success in test of fusion reactor Posted 9/28/2006 7:50 AM By Alexa Olesen, The Associated Press BEIJING — Scientists on Thursday carried out China's first successful test of an experimental fusion reactor, powered by the process that fuels the sun, a research institute spokeswoman said. China, the United States and other governments are pursuing fusion research in hopes that it could become a clean, potentially limitless energy source. Fusion produces little radioactive waste, unlike fission, which powers conventional nuclear reactors. Beijing is eager for advances, both for national prestige and to reduce its soaring consumption of imported oil and dirty coal. The test by the government's Institute of Plasma Physics was carried out on a Tokamak fusion device in the eastern city of Hefei, said Cheng Yan, a spokeswoman at the institute. Cheng said the test was considered a success because the reactor produced plasma, a hot cloud of supercharged particles. She wouldn't give other details. "This represents a step for humankind in the study of nuclear reaction," she said. U.S. and other scientists have been experimenting with fusion for decades but it has yet to be developed into a viable energy alternative. "I think it is a considerable step ahead for China," said Karl Heinz Finken, a senior scientist at the Institute for Plasma Physics in Juelich, Germany, who had no role in the Chinese research. "China is speeding up with the development of nuclear fusion and I think at the moment they are making considerable progress," he said. The Chinese facility is similar to the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, or ITER, being built by a seven-nation consortium in Cadarache in southern France, according to state media. That reactor is due to be completed in 2015. China is a partner in the ITER reactor, along with the European Union, the United States, Japan, Russia, India and South Korea. A Tokamak reactor uses a doughnut-shaped magnetic field to contain the hot gas. Several countries have produced plasma using a Tokamak or similar device, said Gabriel Marbach, deputy head of fusion research at the ITER facility. He said producing plasma was only one step toward the fusion that ITER aims to perform, and that the project could be helped by the Chinese experiments. "It was important for China to show that it is part of the club, and that adds value to its participation in ITER," Marbach said. "That is not to say that it is at the level of the Europeans or Americans," he said. However, he added, "We are rather admiring of the Chinese for conducting this test. It was conducted well, and they constructed (the machine) rather quickly." China is the world's No. 2 oil consumer and its No. 3 importer, consuming at least 3.5 million barrels of foreign oil per day last year. China plans to build dozens of nuclear power plants and is trying to promote use of cleaner alternative energy sources such as natural gas, wind power and methanol made from corn.

Resolved Question: Is San Francisco the epicenter of stupidity, as far as political ideas are concerned?
October 26, 2008 at 10:35 pm ~
On November 4, in addition to voting for the president and other legislators, the citizens of San Francisco will be asked to vote on Proposition H, otherwise known as the “San Francisco Clean Energy Act.” It would amend the city and county charter “to require the city to transition from fossil fuels to clean, non-nuclear, sustainable energy production at affordable rates.” With this vote, if successful, the city will abandon the use of any energy afforded by coal, natural gas, and, as noted, nuclear power. Electricity is measured in kilowatts-hours. America’s 104 commercial nuclear power reactors now provide about 20% of its electricity. More than 50% is produced primarily by 400-plus coal-fired “fossil fuel” producers of electricity, providing more than 2,000 billion kilowatt-hours of reliable energy. Hydroelectric and gas-powered plants constitute the relax of the mix. Solar and wind power constitute about 1% of the electrical energy produced from these two inefficient, impractical, and spectacularly idiotic sources of power. What the citizens of San Francisco and, for that matter, the relax of the nation, don’t understand is that even in the best locations, wind turbines produce power only about one-third of the time. When they cease to produce sufficient electrical power, a back-up coal-fired or nuclear plant has to be in place to meet the immediate needs of energy consumers. Comparably, solar power depends on the sun shining. Occasionally clouds obscure the sun. At night, it is shining somewhere else on Earth.

Resolved Question: Has windpower been exposed as a hoax?
December 14, 2008 at 2:20 pm ~
It appears that another potential scam has been revealed. "In May 2008, a report from Cambridge Energy Research Associates warned that an over-reliance on offshore wind farms to meet European renewable energy targets would further create supply problems and steer up investor costs. No taxpayer respite there. But worse news was to arrive. In June [2008], the most in-depth independent assessment yet of Britain's expanding wind turbine industry was published. In the journal Energy Policy, gas turbine expert Jim Oswald and his co-authors came up with a series of damning conclusions: not only is wind power far more expensive and unreliable than previously thought, it cannot avoid using high levels of natural gas, which not only will increase costs but will also mean far less of a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions than has been claimed. Oswald's report highlights the key issue of load factor, the actual power generated compared to the theoretical maximum, and how critical it is to the viability of the wind power industry. In 2006, according to U.K. government statistics, the average load factor for wind turbines across the U.K. was 27.4 percent. Thus a typical 2 megawatt turbine actually produced only 0.54 MW of power on an average day. The worst performing U.K. turbine had a load factor of just 7 percent. These figures reflect a needy return on investment. But this needy return is often obscured by the subsidy system that allows turbine operators and supporters to claim they can make a profit even when turbines operate at a very low load factors. So what’s the bottom line? British consumers are paying twice over for their electricity, funding its means of production, and paying for its use as end users." http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=29616 N ..... your response is typical of the Warmer-denialist.

It would mean alot i need to receive a good grade for summer school and i am really trying thanks. Since 1962 Wal-Mart has given us great products for our money, yet people still bash them for reasons I don’t even know. I have gathered some information from a few online sources such as Wikipedia, and Wal-Mart watch to show that Wal-Mart does a lot of productive things for society as well. What isn’t often said is how much Wal-Mart has contributed to our society by offering low prices on a wide array of goods, and easy access to those goods, to consumers. If Wal-Mart were not offering superior value would you store there? No! It’s no secret that Wal-Mart prides itself in being a store that gives back to the community. Given the current economy, how have we stepped up our efforts to help? Wal-Mart does things such as give money and donations to local charities, food banks, like how they give food donations to Neighbor to Neighbor food banks every month hear in Hamilton, or how about how they gave $5000 check to a local charities to help lift awareness of homelessness. Wal-Mart has taken a step towards being an eco friendly business. It sure is useful to slow down the world and the amount of waste we create. Wal-Mart encourages purchase of their new reusable bags which in itself gets rid of a massive amount of plastic in our landfills. Some Wal-Mart is even powered by wind turbine, and eco friendly roofs. every these little changes have a great affect on our environment. What do people say about Wal-Mart? The town destroying, junk purveying, labor abusing, sweatshop supporting. Job killing, soul numbing, seizure-inducing, wish curdling, retailer in the known universe. (Just ask around) Basically when you ask someone what they think about Wal-Mart as a business you receive a negative response, I don’t believe Wal-Mart is as bad as we make them out to be. I think we tend to give Wal-Mart a difficult time for the same reasons we give anything successful a difficult time. It’s our need for something to talk about. Our need for drama, and there is no easier target then a big corporation, because we every know there will be mistakes in them. Wal-Mart has a lot negatives, but we know in everything in this world has something negative about it. We need to look at the other side and look how much Wal-Mart actually does for us.

Resolved Question: Will Republicans Support this effort in Congress? Or is it too Responsible?
October 11, 2007 at 10:47 am ~
This August, the Senate and home of Representatives both passed landmark bills that - if combined, will put America on the path to energy independence and solving global warming. Right now, members of the home and Senate are working to create a final version of the bill - which could and should include the best of both measures - that raises fuel efficiency standards to 35 miles per gallon and requires that 15% of our electricity be generated by wind, solar or other renewable power. If Congress flips the switch, this bill will: clip 20% of our global warming emissions by 2030 and make significant progress on the long term reductions in global warming pollution that we need, keep consumers more than $25 billion at the pump and billions more on their home energy bills, Bring a new clean energy economy to life - an energy economy that, according to studies by the Union of Concerned Scientists, will keep and create hundreds of thousands of new, good-paying American jobs.
Resolved Question: Questions aimed at cons/reps, but anyone can answer. What is wrong with looking for other means of energy? If?

competition and free market are GOOD for people (which I believe is correct) then why not ENCOURAGE solar, wind, and other types of energy? If we can pick what type of energy to heat our homes, power our cars, etc, wouldn't the American consumer benefit from more choice? Where is the mistake in my logic? Thanks!

Resolved Question: Want to know global warming Facts and what can be done?
May 18, 2007 at 2:09 am ~
I am stunned and ashamed. I simply cannot fathom the ignorance regarding global warming in my country. Yes, it's happened in the past. Nope, it's never heppened like it is now... FACT: >30,000 people DIED< in the single month of August 2003 from the worst heatwave ever recorded in Europe -(2003 European heat wave, Wikipedia). FACT: Yes, atmospheric analysis going back almost >800,000 years< irrefutibly shows periods of global warming and cooling on Earth. ALSO, that neither the RATE of temperature increase nor levels of greenhouse gasses have EVER been as high as they now are in that entire time -(look: European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica, ...and Greenland, and the Arctic, and.., hundreds of other historic atmospheric studies -look it up.). Did I mention that the massive acceleration in rate and massive "jump" in gasses both match perfectly with our industrial revolution, i.e. dumping oil-based greenhouse pollutants everywhere? FACT: The highest level of CO2 (greenhouse gas in the atmosphere) in almost a million years was 270 ppb. It's now over 375 ppb The levels massivly "jumped" 61 points just since 1960!- (Greenhouse effect, Anthropogenic greenhouse effect, Wikipedia). SIMPLIFIED: Yes, there have been other "warming" periods in Earth's history. But in almost a MILLION years the Earth has NEVER warmed as quick as the last 40 years. And we're gonna receive a LOT hotter than it's ever gotten before... What can we do? 1. cease dumping greenhouse gasses! Duh'! 2. receive off the freakin OIL! Our world and economies will survive. The only thing that'll "collapse" is oil industries and the Bush family's "crude" bank accounts... (Have we really put an "oil man" in charge and then started crying about wars in the oil-wealthy middle east and problems with the environment? Oh, that's right, we didn't actually elect him the first time around...) 3. receive on to solar, wind, geothermal, wave, hydro and any other non polluting, non oil-dependent power sources we can. We even have the technology in our hands! Why receive into wars and screw the planet just to stay hooked on old tech when we already have the new here and now? 4. Seriously fund research into carbon recapture and de-salination of water technologies. We're seriously gonna need them. 5. receive CORPORATIONS out of our HUMAN affairs. They were supposed to be money making tools, not political participators in our government. Corporations have only two goals: make profit and limit liability. The bigger they receive the more they do so by removing limits to profit (such as laws and bad public images) and limit their liability by erroding worker/consumer protections and rights. Why are such "legal entities" participating in and influencing a government that's supposed to be by and for, "We the people" anyway? Ban every lobbying, campaign contributing, and media influence of "for profit" companies and organizations supported by them. then... watch the world change.
