" So the Supreme Court has ruled that the EPA has the authority to regulate greenhouse gases and that it can&amp;#039;t sidestep that authority without providing a scientific basis for doing so. Taken at face value, this is surely a good thing; it only adds to the legitimacy of human-induced climate change. And perhaps it will actually lead to federal mandates. But the cynic in me wonders: How hard might it be for the EPA to find the &amp;quot;scientific basis&amp;quot; it needs to keep its hands conveniently tied? While the list of dissenters is shrinking fast, they can likely still find the sliver of doubt they need to justify inaction. I&amp;#039;m not saying they&amp;#039;ll choose this cowardly route, but given the recent doctoring of climate change reports by the Bush administration, it&amp;#039;s hard not to view this with a degree of skepticism. Time will tell if that skepticism is appropriate. If haven&amp;#039;t posted much recently on our renewable energy systems, it&amp;#039;s only because there&amp;#039;s been little to post. And that&amp;#039;s good news: How much do you think about your electricity supply? As long as it&amp;#039;s there when you need it, probably not much. That&amp;#039;s where we are at. Abundant juice for all our power tools (spent the weekend working on the barn with the circular and table saws doing their best to drain our batteries) and day-to-day activities. We&amp;#039;ve even been vacuuming on a quasi-regular basis. It&amp;#039;s been so long since I ran the generator (Jan 16), that I&amp;#039;m thinking it&amp;#039;d be a good idea to drain the gas.
