First Solar’s power-plant building boom

Thin is in when it comes to solar power plants.

First Solar, the Walton family-backed (WMT) maker of thin-film photovoltaic modules, on Thursday announced its second solar power plant. The latest project is a 10-megawatt photovoltaic power station to be built for Sempra Generation (SRE) in Nevada. Two weeks ago, California regulators approved a 7.5-megawatt - expandable to 21 megawatts - First Solar (FSLR) power plant to be constructed in the Mojave to generate electricity for utility Southern California Edison (EIX). Thin-film solar technology layers solar cells on plates of glass or flexible materials, a process that lowers production costs with the trade-off being lower efficiency at converting sunlight into electricity.

Yes, that's right . . . that's the number of jobs lost in the US in the first half of 2008. Stock markets, flirting with a bear market, finished another losing week. Oil pushed to a record high. Inflation and foreclosures are up, consumer confidence is down . . . can we say recession?

Check out this video from The Washington Post's Dana Milbank of The assistant Treasury secretary for economic policy, Phillip Swagel.

Good Riddance - Jesse Helms is dead

One of the most hateful, homophobic, racist men in American politics is dead:

Former U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms, a North Carolina Republican who became an icon to conservatives, died Friday at the age of 86, a senior congressional source told CNN.

No loveloss here . . . my feeling are not hurt in the least that this man is dead! Mr. Helms, I'm sure I'll be joining you in hell, but for quite different reasons. At any rate, please feel free to use the suite I've reserved in hell! :-)

U.S. 'preparing the battlefield' in Iran - WTF?!?!

According to journalist Seymour Hersh in this week's edition of The New Yorker, The Bush administration has launched a "significant escalation" of covert operations in Iran, sending U.S. commandos to spy on the country's nuclear facilities and undermine the Islamic republic's government.

Check out the full story here. There is a pretty interesting video of Hersh discussing what he says are the Bush administration's plans for Iran.

If Hersh is correct, it makes me want to just vomit! How in the hell are we going to allow GWB and Dick to lead us into another war before the end of their term? This is absolutely ridiculous and we have to stand up to our own government!

HIV Rate Up 12 Percent Among Young Gay Men

This is really a sad thing to see! I thought we were beating this stupid disease in the US anyway. According to this Washington Post news article, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has just published a study that shows that the number of young homosexual men being newly diagnosed with HIV infection is rising by 12 percent a year, with the steepest upward trend in young black men, according to a new report.
The most disturbing piece of the story . . .

The study found that homosexual men were the only risk group in which the number of new infections rose annually from 2001 through 2006. (Epidemiologists prefer the term "men who have sex with men," or MSM, because many of them do not identify themselves as homosexual or gay.) In contrast, injecting-drug users, homosexual men who injected drugs, and heterosexuals each showed declines in new infections over that period.
