Yesterday, I noted that a debate on cap and trade hosted by Salon produced the same predictable arguments from the “right” perspective — that cap and trade is “a job-killing energy tax” and so forth. I had a little fun with the regurgitated, keyword-laden arguments laid out by Steve Everley of American Solutions , and called them misleading. This evidently drew his ire (or it could have been because I misspelled his name — sorry about that). Either way, he responded to my post with a lengthy rebuttal in th… Read the full story on TreeHugger

photo via flickr The League of Conservation Voters (LCV), VoteVets.org Action Fund, Sierra Club and Service Employees International Union (SEIU) today went live with some hard hitting TV ads designed to pressure targeted Senators to support climate and energy action. The $11 million ad campaign names Sens. Burr (NC), Johanns (NE), Nelson (NE), McCaskill (MO) and Reid (NV), and highlights the recent vote on what the groups are calling Sen. Murkowski’s “Big Oil Bailout” resolution, which would have stripped the EPA of its auth… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo: Honda Around $16.5k in Japan Honda seems to have figured that if it isn’t going to win the hybrid war on technology, it should at least try to win based on price. The first salvo was the Insight hybrid V2.0 , which was about $3k less than the 3rd generation Toyota Prius , and the second on is coming soon under the shape of a hybridized Honda Fit which should sell for about… Read the full story on TreeHugger

photos by James Carrillo As people move back downtown, and as more office and factory buildings become superfluous, it is a logical fit to convert them to residential or live-work. For his thesis at Cranbrook, Andrew Kline looked at the issue of how one could do this with a minimum of disturbance. He “created an interior living unit that facilitates the functions of a home in an existing space with little or no renovation.”- The Interior Living Unit…. Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo by bwohack The Düsseldorf International Airport and seven other airports in Germany have decided that bees are the best “biodetectives” for monitoring local air quality. By regularly testing the honey of hives placed on airport premises, researchers are able to see what toxins are in the air and being captured by the flora and fauna.

Photo via cometstarmoon After New York state passed the new e-waste law earlier in June, we figured the lawsuit by electronics manufacturers against New York City for its toughened requirements for e-waste collection would be a moot. The state law already held provisions for e-waste collection that would override that of NYC anyway. Well, it’s finally official – a federal judge has dismissed the suit,… Read the full story on TreeHugger
