Photo: Wikipedia , public domain. Meeting Tesla in the Middle Nissan and Tesla have very different strategies when it comes to electric cars. Tesla has decided to start upmarket because they figured that since electric cars were going to be expensive at first, you might as well make the kind of car that people would usually pay a lot of money for (sexy sports car). Nissan went the opposite route, waiting until it had done enough in-house R&D to reduce the cost of the main components, it then… Read the full story on TreeHugger

As expected, the Kerry-Lieberman climate bill has grown weaker still, relinquishing an economy-wide cap on carbon emissions and instead targeting only the utility sector for greenhouse gas reductions starting in 2013.

Image via Kid K Adam Dillon was a contractor for BP, and worked to help coordinate the spill cleanup of effort. His first appearance on television found him chasing reporters of a spill-impacted sight in the middle of a news segment for WDSU in New Orleans.
