This is a nice summing up of everything on the fossil fuel front.

Everything you’ve heard about fossil fuels is wrong

Judging by the latest numbers on the economy that’s what people are doing.

Obama solicitor general: If you don’t like mandate, earn less money

from Glenn Reynolds: Instapundit

SO WHILE EUROPEANS ARE PROTESTING GENETICALLY-MODIFIED FOOD, they’re dying from old-fashioned contamination. “The food-poisoning outbreak in Germany, which has so far sickened more than 1500 people and killed 18, involves a novel kind of Escherichia coli bacterium never seen before. Researchers in Münster, Germany, announced yesterday that the new E. coli is a hybrid of two other disease-causing types.” One that’s being addressed by, ironically enough, genetic-engineering techniques: “The rapid whole-genome sequencing results enabled us to discover within days a unique combination of virulence traits.”

UPDATE: Several readers email that food irradiation — banned in Europe — could have prevented this. Can you irradiate fresh vegetables?

ANOTHER UPDATE: Multiple emails say that you can, indeed, irradiate fresh vegetables.

MCJOBS: As disappointing as last month’s employment report was, half of last month’s jobs came from a single employer, McDonald’s. “That is hardly the sign of a healthy economy.”

UPDATE: Various readers note that McDonald’s got an ObamaCare waiver. So give everyone an ObamaCare waiver, and watch employment skyrocket!
