I always thought it was conservatives who accused progressives of being driven by their heart and not their brain. A painfully uninformed David Frum wades into the debate over nuclear power with a post headlined, “Conservatives Heart Nuke Power“: First Brad Plumer in the New Republic, then Matt Yglesias on his site have marveled at the [...]

The Skinny on DIY Solar The U.S. is a proverbial mecca for do-it-yourselfers. From our ancestral days of pioneers and homesteaders, we’ve trusted nothing more than our own hands to get a job done right.

As part of its " nuclear sharing " policy aimed at defending against nuclear threats, NATO involves member nations in the storing and delivery of nuclear arms, even if they've got no weapons of their own. Belgium, Germany, and Italy, for example, host a number of U.S. nuclear weapons and means of delivering them should the need arise. In an effort to lessen NATO's reliance on nuclear weapons...

I described how such a situation can lead to lower prices and pointed to the behavior of prices during the period from 1985-2000 as an example....
