The piece originally…
The truth about the health effects of low level radiation are beginning to appear in the main stream of public media. I am not sure when the segment in the video above actually ran on ABC, but it has been available on the web for more than a year. As you can see if you…
A friend sent me a link to an NY Times Green Inc. blog post titled The Coen Brothers Do Clean Coal with a new commercial from Reality.org. Since the clip is from YouTube, I figured there is no reason for them to have all of the fun. Let me know what you think:
