Compact-Fluorescent light bulbs CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS!!!
Read: Mercury leaks found as new bulbs break (The Boston Globe):
"... immediately after the bulb was broken--and sometimes even after a cleanup was attempted--levels of mercury vapor exceeded federal guidelines for chronic exposure by as much as 100 times. There is no federal guideline for acute exposure."
Way back in 1982, the Mother Earth News article: THIN-FILM, AMORPHOUS-SILICON PHOTOVOLTAICS inquired:
But is it really possible that solar cells will sell for $.70 per watt in the next few years?"

Here consider how the Colossal Magnetic Levitation Wind Turbine's output equals that of a small nuclear power plant--though providing power at $.01 per kilowatt hour (plus its low-center-of-gravity = perfect for offshore = unlimited potential).

Here consider how:
"... residents in Illinois voiced their outrage two years ago upon learning that the Exelon Corp had not disclosed radioactive leaks at one of its nuclear plants. ... Mr. Obama introduced a bill ... Mr. Obama eventually rewrote it ... The rewritten bill also contained the NEW WORDING SOUGHT BY EXELON MAKING IT CLEAR THAT STATE AND LOCAL AUTHORITIES WOULD HAVE NO REGULATORY OVERSIGHT OF NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS. ... Exelon's support for Mr. Obama far exceeds its support for any other presidential candidate." (Nucelar Leaks and Response Tested Obama in Senate, NY Times).

"... if you traced today's sub-prime crisis back to its origins, you would come upon the role of the Pritzkers and Superior Bank of Chicago."
The Real Legacy of the Reagan Revolution (CommonDreams)(regarding Phil Gramm--McCain's Campaign Co-Chairman):
"Enron, lest we forget, was their baby. ... Here is a man whose legislation created what financial guru Warren Buffet termed 'financial weapons of mass destruction.'"
McCain and the USS Forrestal Fire:
"McCain crashed 5 jets, plus was responsible for the Forrestal fire. ... McCain deliberately 'wet-started' his A-4E Skyhawk to shake up the guy in the F-4 Phantom behind his plane."
Finally, consider how Pres. Bush never actually won a presidential election (See The US Commissionon on Civil Rights Report on the Irregularities of the 2000 Florida Presidential Election, and the Rolling Stone Magazine article: Was the 2004 Election Stolen?)
