"The Toyota Prius hybrid automobile has become the flagship car for those in our society so environmentally conscious that they are willing to spend a premium to show the world how much they care. Unfortunately for them, their ultimate 'green car' is the source of some of the worst pollution in North America; it takes more combined energy per Prius to produce than a Hummer. [. . .] The nickel required to make the Prius's battery is mined and smelted at a plant in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. This plant has caused so much environmental damage to the surrounding environment that NASA has used the 'dead zone' around the plant to test moon rovers. Dubbed the Superstack, the factory has spread sulfur dioxide across northern Ontario, becoming every environmentalist's nightmare. The nickel produced by this plant is sent via massive container ship to the largest nickel refinery in Europe. From there, the nickel hops over to China to produce 'nickel foam.' From there, it goes to Japan. Finally, the completed batteries are shipped to the United States, finalizing the around-the-world trip required to produce a single Prius battery. When you pool together all the combined energy it takes to drive and build a Toyota Prius, the flagship car of energy fanatics, it takes almost 50 percent more energy than a Hummer -- the Prius's arch nemesis. [. . .] The Prius costs an average of $3.25 per mile driven over a lifetime of 100,000 miles -- the expected lifespan of the Hybrid. The Hummer, on the other hand, costs a more fiscal $1.95 per mile to put on the road over an expected lifetime of 300,000 miles. That means the Hummer will last three times longer than a Prius and use less combined energy doing it."

"107.9 FM La Ley is a Spanish-language radio station in Chicago, owned and operated by the Spanish Broadcasting System (SBS). In July 2005. it raffled off a brand new Corvette to listeners. Twenty-year-old Maribel Nava Alvarez won the car, but was unable to take possession because she is an illegal alien and the station is required by law to get either a valid Social Security or taxpayer identification number from anyone who wins a prize worth more than $500. Miss Alvarez had neither, so the station told her she was out of luck. Miss Alvarez has learned something from living in America -- she's suing the radio station and its parent company for breach of contract and emotional distress, claiming nobody told her she had to be legal to win. [. . .] Miss Alvarez is pursuing her lawsuit from an undisclosed location; she left Chicago for fear she would be deported."

"In a 1999 paper entitled 'Cosmic Rays and the Earth's Climate,' [scientist Henrik] Svensmark [of the Danish Space Research Institute] discussed the impact of 'galactic cosmic rays' (GCR) on climate. 'Recently it was found that the Earth's cloud cover, observed by satellites, is strongly correlated with GCR,' he wrote, noting that galactic cosmic rays play a role in cloud formation. According to Svensmark, when the sun is in a more active state (as it has been in recent years), solar influences deflect a greater amount of cosmic radiation, causing a reduction in cloud cover that allows more solar radiation to penetrate and heat the atmosphere. Periods of low solar activity lead to the opposite effect and a cooler climate. In his 1999 paper, Svensmark concluded that 'a solar influence on clouds could be the main cause for the observed correlations between the sun and Earth's climate.'"
