Inside Europe: Iberian Notes

Straight outta Barcelona: news, politics, culture, history, languages, and scatology.

Tuesday, December 31, 2002

Here are some more Gregg Easterbrook pieces from TNR on a variety of subjects, mostly related to environmentalism, energy, the Third World, and the like. This one on foreign aid, this one on energy policy and especially oil, this one with specifics on Bush's environmental policies, this one on SUVs and oil drilling in the Arctic, this one on how buying Gulf oil funds terror, this one on how oilmen view the world, this one on air pollution, and this one on the California electricity disaster are all well worth reading.
