The Mohave ground squirrel, to be precise. Also an environmental group and labor unions, let’s not forget them. Together, they vanquished a town’s effort to switch from polluting energy sources to green solar energy–and in California, of all places. If the green movement, in whose basket Barry seems ready to put all of our national eggs, can’t flourish there, what chance does it have anywhere? Slim to none, it looks like.

More good, if a few trifle far-fetched, reasons to return to the moon, by former moon astronaut Buzz Aldrin who recalls looking back from its surface in 1969 to "…the cloudy blue ball that should only be mankind’s starter home." The plan is to put the base at the moon’s south pole, where there is some evidence of water ice and more shelter from the sun, and rotate astronaut teams in and out every six months. Top of the far-fetched list, it seems to me, is beaming solar energy home, but the argument’s at least as interesting as the space elevator. /NASA
