In addition to the Allegheny Transmission line public meeting south of Morgantown (thanks for your comments Jim K), yesterday was a big news day for electricity and global climate change (at least on public radio).  Here are some links in case you missed them:

Jim referred to a story on coal-fired power plants, how some are being thwarted, and what Congress may do (or not) about capping carbon emissions: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6612925

WalMart, the store many love to hate, is switching some of its lights to LEDs (at least refrigerated case lights in its new stores).  The company spends about $1Billion on electricity every year (I think that is what the guy said in this story), so they say a 1% savings is a lot of money: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6612916 

The program Justice Talking had an entire show on greenhouse gases and global climate change.
