Happy Easter from The SEU
This morning I attended the second meeting in a month of the Sustainable Energy Utility (SEU) Oversight Board. The big news that came out of this meeting was that a final contract had been negotiated with Applied Energy to be the Contract Administrator. The CA is responsible for the actual work of the SEU.

John McCain: Courage, Conviction, Hero…Full of Crap

Republican Minority Leader Endorses AIG Bonuses.
Some in the GOP have gone against their natural instincts and have engaged in outrage over the AIG Bonuses. Of course, before, the GOP was the party of big business and big bonuses. But sensing an opening of an attack against President Obama, they have all of the sudden become populists. This goes against the […]
