[Biofuel] Dividing Up The Pie, U.S., U.K. Chiefs To Hold Historic Strategy Meeting
Dividing Up The Pie U.S., U.K. Chiefs To Hold Historic Strategy Meeting By VAGO MURADIAN and MARCUS WEISGERBER March 31, 2013 Information Clearing House -Defense News - WASHINGTON --- In what is believed to be the first time since the 1940s, the entire British defense staff will be here March 25 to discuss long-range strategy and the impact of budget cuts with their U.S. counterparts, according to U.S. and British sources. The meeting is reminiscent of the Combined Chiefs of Staff, when British and American military leaders joined forces during World War II. Both nations are undergoing significant budgetary reductions and will continue to rely on each other in future years for support. Understanding what capabilities will survive and won't is essential to long-term strategic planning. The relationship military to military is very strong. We have common interest in how we meet the financial constraints placed on both nations, but also on issues like how we manage the drawdown in Afghanistan and also how we reconfigure post Afghanistan, said Sir Gerald Howarth, a member of parliament and the ex-defense minister responsible for international security affairs from 2010 to 2012. We have a huge amount of strategic issues to discuss where we have a very large level of common interest, he said. A Defence Ministry spokesman characterized the meeting as private and declined further comment. In the U.S., spokesmen for the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff did not respond to questions. U.S. and British military leaders regularly discuss ongoing issues. What's different about this series of meetings is they will focus not on immediate budget, program or operational issues, but the strategic future of the Anglo-American alliance, including deepening cooperation. In addition to the U.S. Joint Chiefs, British attendees are expected to include Gen. Sir David Richards, chief of the Defence Staff; Gen. Sir Nicholas Houghton, vice chief of the Defence Staff, who will take over as chief when Richards retires later this year; Air Chief Marshal Sir Stephen Dalton, chief of the Air Staff; Adm. Sir George Zambellas, incoming Navy first sea lord; Gen. Sir Peter Wall, chief of the General Staff; and Air Chief Marshal Sir Stuart Peach, commander of Joint Forces Command, sources said. The U.S. and U.K. regularly share the most sensitive military intelligence, technology and equipment, including submarine-launched nuclear ballistic missiles. Britain over the past decade in particular has shaped its capabilities to dovetail with U.S. forces. The British are the leading developmental partner on the U.S.-led F-35 fighter program with Lockheed Martin and have in their inventory Boeing C-17 transports, Chinook and Apache helicopters and Lockheed C-130 cargo aircraft. In addition, the Royal Air Force is buying highly sensitive RC-135 Rivet Joint intelligence planes produced by L-3 Communications in the U.S., making London the only international customer for that program. The meeting comes as the Pentagon faces $500 billion in spending cuts over the coming decade, which will force senior leaders to make difficult choices. The British delegation arrives with particular experience in that area, having faced even deeper budget cuts --- in percentage terms --- over the past several years, forcing major reforms to force structure, organization and acquisition programs in that time. Getting value for money and efficiency is something we have focused a considerable amount of attention on, and we can offer them advice in that area, Howarth said. Still, the British budget is a fraction of that of the U.S. In fact, at $62.7 billion in 2011, the British budget is not much larger than the size of the annual cuts faced by the Americans. Under mandatory cuts for the remainder of 2013, the Pentagon is reducing its budget by $46 billion. Yet the U.S. military could learn a thing or two from its British counterparts when it comes to consolidation, especially within the headquarters staff ranks, said Barry Pavel, the director of the Brent Scowcroft Center on International Security at the Atlantic Council here. I think [the U.S.] can learn a lot, Pavel said. There's a lot of inefficiencies in our headquarters. They've taken jointness ... to new levels that we haven't yet done. But the British, having cut so deeply, are also in need. They are going to have to leverage the U.S. to a greater degree, or try to, Pavel said. To get leaner and reduce overhead in recent years, the British military consolidated its war colleges into a single school and created an operational command center outside of London to oversee operations, according to retired British Army Brig. Gen. Ben Barry, now with the International Institute for Strategic Studies think tank in London. The U.S. Defense Department is already preparing for force structure reductions in
[Biofuel] Regime Change Begins at Home
Regime Change Begins at Home By Stephen Lendman March 31, 2013 Information Clearing House - Charles Derber's book by that title says it's the only way to free America from corporate rule. It transformed America from we the people to what CEOs say goes. It put monied interests in charge. Presidents, legislators, and high level bureaucrats serve them. Whatever they want they get. Institutionalized injustice follows. It's longstanding. Vital change more than ever is needed. America had previous corporate regimes. None match today's extremism. Bold, creative strategies are needed to change things. Commitment creates possibilities. Nothing worth struggling for is easy. Failure to try assures disaster. America's on a fast track to full-blown tyranny. It's a hair's breath away. Preventing it is top priority. It begins with knowledge. It involves knowing what's at stake. Money power runs America. Fundamental freedoms are on the chopping block for elimination. Preventing it takes commitment. Challenging authority is essential. Social movements are pivotal forces. They work. Abolitionists, labor movements, and civil rights activists proved it. Collective activism has power. What better time to use it than now. America's waging political, social, financial, and hot wars. It's doing it globally. It's happening at home and abroad. Constitutional protections are disappearing. America's social contract is being destroyed. Militarization, permanent wars, and unchallenged global dominance reflect policy. So does police state harshness. Dissent is endangered. Privilege is entrenched. Fundamental freedoms are eroding. Beneficial social change isn't tolerated. Electoral politics doesn't work. Duopoly power runs America. Republicans and Democrats reflect two sides of the same coin. Not a dime's worth of difference separates them. Throwing out bums assures new ones. It happens every time. Names and faces change. Policies remain unchanged. They're longstanding. They're cruel, malicious and unjust. Washington is too pernicious, corrupt and dysfunctional to fix. Vital change is needed. Revolution is the only solution. Authority must be challenged disruptively. Doing so requires mobilizing it. Egalitarian reform is essential. Grass roots activism is key. Popular struggles depend on it. Ordinary people have enormous power. Key is using it. It takes more than marches, rallies, slogans or violence. It takes sustained commitment, withdrawing cooperation, breaking entrenched rules, challenging reprisals, and staying the course. Change occurs bottom up. It never comes top down. Dark forces relinquish nothing willingly. Concessions come when forced. Struggling for rights achieves them. There's no other way. Powerful interests run today's America. They take full advantage. Absolute power corrupts them absolutely. They're free to steal, plunder, exploit, accumulate wealth, and dominate. They do it at our expense. Inequality is unprecedented. America the beautiful never existed and doesn't now. Calling it a land of opportunity defies reality. Democratic freedoms are incompatible with predatory capitalism. Everyone's on their own sink or swim. Privileged few alone benefit. Others are used and abused. Adam Smith said nominal democracy should be instituted for the defense of the rich against the poor. It's more than ever true today. Corporatism is empowered. It rules the world. Military might supports it. Fundamental rights don't matter. The world's richest most developed country spurns them. It thumbs its nose at what matters most. Growing poverty, unemployment, hunger, homelessness, and human misery follow. Plutocratic sharks don't care. Bottom line priorities alone matter. Money is used to make more of it. Enough is never enough. Human needs and welfare are sacrificed. Exploitation is institutionalized. American style democracy assures it. Michael Parenti calls it democracy for the few. It's the best money can buy. America's wealthy class dominates. Ordinary people have no say. What democratic mandate directed government to transfer wealth to the privileged few? Why are ordinary people left out? Why do corporate giants get huge handouts? Why are they licensed to steal? Why are wars fought to enrich them? Why are democratic freedoms compromised to serve them? Achieving equitable change isn't rocket science. Putting money power in public hands is a good way to start. So is prioritizing justice, fairness, full employment, a minimum living wage, universal healthcare, free education to the highest levels, other vital social services, peace, and government by and for everyone equitably. America's current system failed. When disrobed and exposed to the light of day, America's rulers have feet of clay. Their time has past. Social restructuring for everyone is needed. Mobilizing effectively can get

Re: [Biofuel] Solar panels may cost all households
Hi Zeke, for most for-profit power generators, their emissions (heat, CO2, conventional pollutants, noise, toxins, carcinogens, etc.) are just 'externalities' they impose on society. Thus, the lack of these things are also an externality. Unless they can find a way to generate revenue from the damage not being done, these benefits are by definition of no value (cannot be 'internalized' for profit). The concept of the 'triple-bottom-line' is a nice construct for trying to score something for reduction of environmental costs. However, in my experience, the only thing that really matters to a corporation is money. So, if you want to encourage a particular direction or action, the incentive needs to be financial. That's what governments and mass action by consumers is supposed to do. (Government interventions, tax structures and effective consumer boycotts are amazingly effective, sometimes amazingly so. Our federal government seriously damaged the residential real estate market recently with a couple of measures, one of which should have resulted in the resignation of the Finance Minister). That's why I favour things like a carbon tax, environmental surety performance bonds and serious fines for violations (that get enforced). Once the owners of those solar panels that are grid connected get to the point they are producing a substantial amount of power, I wonder what impact they would have if they all elected to shut off their connection (supply to grid) on a hot summer weekday afternoon when demand is high? I wonder if a group action would get the utility's attention.
