He has been frustrated by the president’s inconsistency–three years of nothing, and now this ambitious, ambiguous exercise in peace-making, map-making and nation-creation....

The Compelling Need For Electricity The majority of carbon emissions come from the continuous generation of electricity.

The theory was that electoral dynamics impel politicians to spend in excess of revenues, piling up deficits that cause inflation.
