  • After the reactors are shut down

    George Rebane And then where shall we turn for clean reliable energy?  More here from Anthony Watts on the implications of the nuclear shutdowns for the global warming movement.  And in a broader scope see Cato’s False Promise of Green Energy.  H/T to RR reader for photos. Ending on a lighter note, we may try the…

  • Ruminations – 15mar2011 (updated 16mar2011)

    George Rebane [To alert the more sensitive reader, this post is rated PG-13 for its horrific imagery and strong language.] Ah yes, ‘tis the Ides of March dear Brutus. – Ragheads, a powerful evil– Government shutdown?– Hyperventilating nuclear power It’s been hard for me to figure out how to respond to another in a steady stream of atrocities…

  • Dancing the CPB Sidestep

    George Rebane [This is the submitted form of my March column in The Union.  It appears in today's (12mar2011) printed and online editions of the newspaper.] Last Friday many of us attended a well-oiled presentation on the concept of ‘community partnership banking.’   This was given in the Nevada City council chambers by Mr David Rose,…

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular radio commentary that aired tonight 4mar11 on KVMR-FM 89.5.  I have addended some observations from attending the 4mar11 meeting where the described banking concept was presented.] Something called ‘community partnership banking’ is being sold to Nevada City right now as you listen to this commentary.   Helping to…

  • The Two Sides of Wisconsin

    George Rebane The Republican instigated, public service union sponsored imbroglio in Wisconsin continues to roil.  The left spreads itself as the protector of workers’ rights and defender of America’s middle class, the right attempts the logic of ‘this can’t go on’ and sides with the country’s taxpayers.  I think the left is getting the better…

  • Report from Hind Tit Road (updated 28feb2011)

    George Rebane I’m sure we here on Cement Hill aren’t the only ones in Nevada County who think they live on Hind Tit Road.  But we think of it often enough that we might as well grab the name while it’s still available.  After another freezing night without power, our thoughts turn to Pacific Gas…

  • Winter Wonder? Land – 25 February 2011

    George Rebane There’re only a couple of parts of this winter wonderland that folks here in the Sierra foothills are wondering about today – when’s the damn snow gonna stop, and when’s power coming back on? I can just see the grins on the faces of certain RR readers living in parts south and southeast. …

  • ‘We Have No Guns’

    George Rebane That was the lament from a businessman and demonstrator on NPR’s morning coverage of the Libyan crisis.  He told of the government hired mercenaries riding through the streets of Tripoli, machine gunning anyone caught in the open.  The death toll is over a thousand with thousands more wounded.  And this is not even…
