Uncle Sam has a real deal for you | Allegedly for environmental reasons, we're going to scrap a million usable cars?

Has Uncle Sam got a deal for you! He'll give you up to $4,500 toward a new car simply for trading in that hoopdie you've been driving for too long. Yes, the dealers at the House Energy Committee have reached agreement on -- about the only thing they've reached agreement on -- a "Cash for Clunkers" program.
...
Here's the deal. Your clunker has to get less than 18 mpg. If you trade it in on a new car -- imported or domestic, it doesn't matter -- that gets at least 4 mpg more than what you're driving now, you get a voucher for $3,500. If the mileage is at least 10 mpg better, you get $4,500 toward your new wheels.
...
The trade-ins will be scrapped because it wouldn't make much sense to turn around and put your polluting gas guzzler back on the road, would it? The idea is cleaner air, less gas consumption, a shot in the arm for the auto industry and an image upgrade for yourself -- all for the modest cost to taxpayers of $3.5 billion to $4.5 billion.

Once this bill passes, act fast. The deal is limited to the first 1 million customers. And this offer may not come around again, but it could. Now that Uncle Sam owns a couple of car companies, the auto business seems to have gotten into his blood. He's ready to deal!

May Gurney to build new green HQ on stilts - 08/05/2009 - Contract Journal

May Gurney is to build a new 'green' headquarters on the outskirts of Norwich, featuring solar hot-water panels, sun pipes, solar shading and water-saving technology.

The site is on a flood plain so part of the new HQ will be on stilts, to "guard against the future effects of climate change". A raised access road and footpath will also be built.

A planning application has been submitted to South Norfolk Council. If approved, May Gurney expects to move into the 34,000sq ft building within two years.

Dear Mother Nature:

Would you very much mind delaying your climate change impacts on our species as a result of our commercially driven devastating activities, resulting in but not limited to, the destruction of most other species that inhabit the planet along with us? We are presently experiencing a difficult time to our planned expediential extraction of finite resources on planet Earth.
