Pope Francis on Sunday will get a first chance since his surprise election to speak directly to his 1.2 billion-strong flock, outlining his vision for the Catholic Church.
The Angelus prayer -- when Francis will offer the familiar sight of a pope speaking to throngs massed in St Peter's Square from a window high above -- has also been an occasion for previous pontiffs to comment on international affairs.
City authorities braced for an expected influx of around 200,000 people eager for a glimpse of the world's first Latin American pontiff.
The city has deployed more than 1,000 police, 700 civil protection volunteers and 50 first aid teams for the event, the ANSA news agency reported.
The Italian capital is also hosting the Rome Marathon and some runners waved a banner reading "The Rome Marathon Salutes Pope Francis".
The 76-year-old pope has already been winning hearts with an informal style markedly different from that of his more austere predecessor Benedict XVI.
A million people may attend the pope's inauguration mass on Tuesday, including world leaders who are set to begin flying into Rome on Sunday.
Among them is Argentine President Cristina Kirchner who had tense relations with the former archbishop of Buenos Aires, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, before his surprise election on Wednesday.
US Vice President Joe Biden was also due to arrive later Sunday.
Francis has already spoken to Catholic leaders about the need for spiritual renewal and evangelisation and cautioned them against worldly glories, as well as calling for a "poor Church" that should be closer to ordinary people.
He warned cardinals that the Church would fall apart "like a sand castle" if it did not have a solid spiritual foundation and urged them to share their wisdom -- "good wine that gets better over the years" -- with young people.
At the same time, Francis has faced accusations at home that he failed at the time to speak out against brutalities committed during the years of the military junta in Argentina (1976-1983) when he was head of the country's Jesuits.
The Vatican has firmly rejected claims that he did not intervene when two Jesuit priests were tortured by the dictatorship, saying the allegations were part of a leftist, anti-clerical campaign.
The Argentine judge who investigated the case, German Castelli, also came out in support of the pope on Saturday, saying that prosecutors had found that Bergoglio had "no case to answer".
But the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo organisation, founded to help locate children who were kidnapped during the military era, lambasted the new pope.
"He has never spoken of the problem of people who had disappeared under dictatorial rule," said Estela Carlotto, the head of the group, whose daughter Laura was abducted and killed.
-- 'A poor Church for the poor' --
The criticism has failed to dampen enthusiasm for the new pope in Rome, where Vatican media workers whooped "Long live the pope!" at an audience on Saturday where Francis explained how he chose his new name.
He revealed that when the cardinals elected him at an emotional conclave, he had been sitting next to Brazilian Cardinal Claudio Hummes.
"He hugged me and kissed me and told me not to forget the poor. And that word went in here," Francis said, pointing to his head. "I immediately thought of Francis of Assisi."
"How I would like a poor Church for the poor!" said the Argentinian, the first non-European pontiff in nearly 1,300 years.
Hummes meanwhile urged Francis to move immediately to reform the Roman Curia -- the intrigue-filled central administration of the Church which has faced growing criticism in recent years.
"Reform should begin with choosing the right people for the orientation of the Church that the pope wants -- a missionary Church with more dialogue," Hummes said.
Vatican watchers are keeping a close eye on nominations to top posts as an indication of what changes in substance his papacy could herald.
The Vatican has said Francis will meet next Saturday with his 85-year-old predecessor Benedict, who last month became the first pope to resign since the Middle Ages because he said his physical and mental strengths were failing him.
The resignation brought to an abrupt end a troubled eight-year papacy that was often overshadowed by scandals including the ongoing denunciations of hushed-up sexual abuse of children by paedophile priests stretching back decades.
The son of an Italian emigrant railway worker, Francis is a moderate conservative who is unlikely to change key doctrine but experts say that he could push for more social justice and a friendlier faith.

HUMP Porn, Wireless
As directors switch to digital filmmaking in greater numbers (Superman Returns is the latest blockbuster to go all gigabyte), amateur directors, and even some professionals, are already on to the newest thing: cell phones.
From a story from the AP:
Italian filmmakers used a Nokia N90, a higher-end cell phone sold around the world, to produce the 93-minute "New Love Meetings," which they say is the first feature film to be entirely shot with such a tool.
"With the widespread availability of cell phones equipped with cameras, anybody could do this," documentary co-director Marcello Mencarini said in a telephone interview from Milan. "If you want to say something nowadays, thanks to the new media, you can."
Personally, the idea of sitting through a feature-length film shot entirely on a cell phone ain't exactly appealing, especially given the current quality of cell phone footage. But something shortsay, an eight-minute porn flick made for our very own Hump!could be very interesting.
Is someone in Seattle talented enough, and brave enough, to do it? We'll find out on August 21, when all the entries are due.

British police have arrived in Israel to interview the British citizens whose passports were used in the assassination of a senior Hamas militant in Dubai.
Two senior police officers are set to meet the six British citizens, all of whom made hold dual British and Israeli nationality, whose passports were used by the assassins who killed Hamas's Mahmoud al-Mabhouh.
Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman told European foreign ministers in Brussels last week that there was no evidence that Israel was involved in the murder.
But Dubai police claim they are 99 per cent certain the murder was the work of Israeli intelligence agency Mossad, and now say they have DNA evidence from the assassins.
The team in Dubai is believed to have used as many as 26 fake passports. They apparently used a quick-acting muscle relaxant to help make the death seem "natural".
Dubai police chief Dahi Khalfan Tamim has said the country will discriminate against Israelis and dual-citizens attempting to enter the United Arab Emirates.
He said: "We know Israelis from their accents but when they used European passports to come here, we accepted that and we treated them as Europeans.
"But after this day, if they have dual citizenship, we will exert extreme caution."

Vt. court affirms sentence in '04 ex-wife deathThe Associated Press | June 21,2013MONTPELIER - The Vermont Supreme Court is affirming a minimum 14-year prison sentence for a man convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the 2004 death of his wife whose body was found outside their Bethel home.
William "Al" Kimmick had filed a post-conviction relief claim that he had ineffective counsel during the 2005 sentencing phase after his conviction on the manslaughter charge filed after the death of his wife 41-year-old, Kathyrn Kimmick.
The body of Kathryn Kimmick was found frozen in a car outside her Bethel apartment on Jan. 23, 2004, about three days after she died. An autopsy found she died of blows to the head.
William Kimmick fled to Taiwan after his wife's death, but he surrendered and returned to the United States.
He was convicted in the fall of 2004.MORE IN This Just InEmployee charged

Vt. rec path revived 2 yearsMay 25,2013COLCHESTER — Two year after Lake Champlain flooding destroyed part of it, the Colchester Causeway recreational path has been restored for bicyclists, runners, walkers and fishermen.
The Colchester Causeway, along with a stretch to the north in South Hero, is a five-mile, unpaved northern portion of Island Line Trail. It connects to the south to Colchester's Airport Park and the 7.5-mile paved Burlington Bike Path.
The Burlington Free Press reported that restoration work took place last year from May to October and cost $500,000.
Seventy-five percent of the money to repair the causeway came from federal funds and 15 percent came from the state. The remaining 10 percent came largely from Burlington-based nonprofit Local Motion, and from an anonymous donorMORE IN This Just InEmployee charged

Guided snorkeling in Turneffe Atoll with a trip to the world famous Great Blue Hole.
Explore the exquisite maze of coral reefs and turquoise waters of Turneffe Atoll, and visit the world famous Great Blue Hole on this land-based snorkel expedition. This expedition is one of the best ways for non-divers to discover Belize's spectacular coral reef systems.
Our trip begins with a 90-minute boat ride from Belize City to the eastern side of Turneffe Atoll. We stay at Turneffe Flats Lodge, which offers comfortable beachside air-conditioned cabanas, each with an open porch to the sea, or at Blackbird Caye Resort, also featuring comfortable beachside cabanas. Turneffe Atoll is exceptional for its warm shallow water, which gives snorkelers easy access to an extraordinary underwater paradise. Magnificently adorned with huge yellow tube sponges and myriad tropical fish, the reef offers unmatched snorkeling opportunities.
Snorkeling sites include the coral rich reefs of The Canyons, Calabash Cut, and Soldier's Caye reef. Over 25 species of birds are found around the islands including the magificent osprey, and we often spot dolphins en route to our snorkeling sites. Participants in this program will benefit from our decades of experience guiding travel programs in Belize, and gain special insight into the local ecology through the findings of our long-term research efforts.
2017: January 28 - February 4. $2,990 per person + park fees.* Group limit 8.

Description: In the lively comedy/adventure Travels with My Aunt, adapted from Graham Green's book, Henry (Alec McCowan), a timid, bookish accountant whose life seems to have died stillborn, discovers how to live with gusto thanks to the rough ministrations of his thoroughly eccentric aunt Augusta (Maggie Smith). Aunt Augusta bursts into Henry's life during the funeral for his mother, Augusta's sister. She whisks him to her apartment for a general cheering up, and he is thoroughly bemused by her bohemian ways and her much-younger black Caribbean boyfriend. In the next few hours, she manages to pry him from his dusty life and involve him in a series of incredible adventures involving old love affairs, espionage, kidnappings, and more money than he has ever dreamt of. Before the story ends, Henry has properly gotten into the spirit of his madcap aunt's adventuring.~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

Dull knives make meal prep a hassle, causing frustration during chopping and dicing tasks. But did you know that dull knives are dangerous too? That's because home chefs have to use more pressure when cutting, which is more likely to result in loss of control. You can have your knives professionally sharpened in a local shop, or you can make a small investment in a sharpener tool and do it yourself at home. With the Klein Tools Knife and Scissors Sharpener, you can sharpen your blades any time, without the cost of a pro job. Available at The Home Depot; $12.60

The Little Tikes 3-in-1 Trike with Deluxe Accessories is a three-stage tricycle with a padded seat. In the first stage, the parent pushes and steers while baby rides along. In stage two, children's legs are long enough to reach the pedals. They can place their feet on the pedals and get the feel of pedaling while parents continue to push and steer. In the last stage, the parent handlebar is removed, and children can pedal the tricycle on their own.
The 3-in-1 Trike with Deluxe Accessories includes a five-point seat harness, a removable and adjustable shade canopy, an adjustable and detachable parent push handle, a protective safety bar, a zippered handy pack, foldable footrests, a beverage holder, and a storage bucket that can hold up to five pounds of items. The pedals are non-slip, and the seat can be adjusted to four positions. The 3-in-1 Trike is available in red, pink, and blue. Each is sold separately.
The Little Tikes 3-in-1 Trike with Deluxe Accessories is a great grow-with-me item. It has the convenience of a stroller for parents and younger children, but as kids get older, they can learn to pedal and eventually use the 3-in-1 Trike as a tricycle.
The Little Tikes 3-in-1 Trike with Deluxe Accessories is for ages 9–36 months. Stage one is for ages 9–12 months. Stage two is for ages 12–18 months, and stage 3 is for ages 18–36 months. There is a maximum weight limit of 50 pounds.
Adult assembly is required.
The 3-in-1 Trike is for outdoor use only. Parental supervision is required.

Stealing Athena (Paperback)
Stealing Athena is the story of two women, separated by centuries but united by their association with some of the world's greatest and most controversial works of art. Aspasia, a philosopher and courtesan to visionary politician Pericles during Athens's Golden Age, defies societal restrictions to become fiercely influential in Athens' power circle. Mary, the Countess of Elgin and a beautiful Scottish heiress, charms the fearsome men of the Ottoman Empire to make possible her husband's costly acquisitions, all the while brazenly defying the social conventions of her time. Both women prevail yet pay a heavy price for their rebellion. A tale of romance, intrigue, greed, and glory, Stealing Athena interweaves the lives of two of history's most beguiling heroines.

I have had this mounted on a S&W 44 Mag revolver for about two years now and have had no issues or trouble. I bought this site because as I am getting older and having to wear bifocal glasses I was having trouble using the open sites on the pistol. Either the target was clear or the sites but not both. This site fixed all those problems. I have shot the pistol many times now and after initially siting it in, have never had to change the site adjustments. I have not had to change the battery yet either. The only thing that troubles some people, but is not a problem for me, is the red dot is not always a dot. It sometimes looks distorted or looks like a star. The appearance of the dot also changes according to the intensity of the dot. I usually keep the intensity setting on automatic. The deer in the pictures was taken using this 44 Mag and Burris FastFire III. My best ever with the pistol.

The sight worked well for 3 months. I was impressed with how it improved my out of position shooting with my shotgun. I have it mounted on a SpeedBead on a Browning Maxus that use for turkey, goose and duck hunting. I put it on my shotgun for turkey season and tried it out on the trap ranged and was impressed. I do a lot of hunting out of a layout blind and I'm rarely in perfect position when taking a shot. a lot of time I'm shooting behind or at a awkward angle for goose and duck, so it makes it hard to have perfect sight alignment. The SpeedBead and fast fire eliminate the human error portion of those shots. where the red dot is is where it hits. I noticed that when i was shooting clays out of my layout blind at difficult angles I doubled my hits with this sight. Unfortunately right about the time early goose season started my sight started moving to the right little by little. I have it right above my front bead on my shotgun so its easy to see weather it moved. Every morning I would have to move it back to the left about 4-10 clicks. I verified the mount was secure and then place a dab of fingernail polish on the windage adjustment to see if that was moving. it turned out that the dot was moving and the windage adjustment was remaining in place. Fortunately Burris has an excellent warranty policy, I called them and had it shipped out today to have it replaced. We will see how quickly the return is and I will right a review on that also. I am hoping to have it back for opening day of duck season here in Michigan. I am really looking forward to hunting with this sight this year. If you asked me to right this review a month ago it would have been a easy 5 stars.

Comments about Burris Fastfire III Red Dot Sight:
Love the sights. I brought AR 536 and fast fire 3. The only thing i could see making the fast fire better would be to have different selectable red dots. Different people like different dots. That would make the fast fire top of its class
Comments about Burris Fastfire III Red Dot Sight:
New unit. Opened box, put in battery, pushed switch, nothing. Reinstalled battery, pushed switch, nothing. Wiggled finger on switch and unit came on. Had to use finger nail on center of switch to get it to occasionally change setting. Ended up removing battery to turn it off. I had high hopes for it. Hope things get fixed.
Comments about Burris Fastfire III Red Dot Sight:
I have owned and used 6 FF3's over the preceding years..I currently own three. I have had to send only one back in all that time, because of faulty workmanship etc...but overall I have had a good experince with these sights. I have them on a Buckmark .22, Ruger 22/45 .22 and a Glock MOS 19. The small size and light weight is a plus. The controls work well, the build is good,and the price point is fair. Unless you have a "real" need for a mil spec grade sight and abuse your firearms and sights, and are not just an armchair wannabe..this FF3 will serve you well under all but the most demanding conditions. I have them, I use them, they work. I would not hesitate to get another one.
Comments about Burris Fastfire III Red Dot Sight:
I have been to the range one time but the sight was excellent. zero very easy and adjustment was easy. Red dot was esay to pickup with my eyes.
Comments about Burris Fastfire III Red Dot Sight:
This site has been awesome on my ruger 22/45 lite. Never and issue. All of a sudden and with a full battery the sight is turning itself off when I fire. I can shake it, tap it, and it stays on but when I shoot it is cutting off and I have to hit the on button to get it back on. Pain in the butt when trying to shoot steel.
Comments about Burris Fastfire III Red Dot Sight:
I bought this to use on my Glock 34 MOS, and this Fastfire 3 is great.

Almost exactly a year ago, Tesla Motors announced what it called a "revolutionary" lease deal for the Model S. Since the electric automaker used some unusual assumptions in its calculations to get to a headline-worthy $500-a-month "true cost of ownership," the company had to quickly change its tune. Some of the same assumptions are back in a business lease deal from new subsidiary, Tesla Finance, for $408 a month (sort of) that was announced today.

Late session keeps Kerry away from fundraiser
Published: Sunday, October 1, 2006 at 4:51 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, October 1, 2006 at 5:53 a.m.
SARASOTA -- U.S. Sen. John Kerry was a no-show Saturday for a fundraiser on Bird Key for Democratic congressional candidate Christine Jennings.
Kerry, a Massachusetts Democrat who ran for president in 2004, was unable to make his flight to Sarasota Friday night because the Senate stayed in session late, said Jennings' spokeswoman Kathy Vermazen.
Kerry did show up later in the day on the east coast at an event for Democrat Tim Mahoney, who is running for the seat held by former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley, who abruptly resigned Friday.

Great BBQ and staff. Plenty of GF options.
Our server was very conscience of my son's gluten allergy. She has wonderful knowledge of the menu. Service was lightning fast. Price is fair for the amount of food you get. I love walking in and when talking about gluten allergies the list you get is what you can't have!
Decent BBQ, $10-20. Ask for the menu that shows what you can't have plus add some common sense. Request no Texas toast and enjoy.
I will never eat here again. Last night I went and made it very clear to the waiter I was allergic to wheat, serious enough to carry an epi pen. He wasn't very knowledgable and said not to worry. He told me he couldn't guarantee any the sides were gluten free so I opted to not do any sides and just get plain chicken with bacon and onions. My plate came out with a large piece of cornbread right on top of my food! I politely said I'm sorry, I can't eat this and he said no problem I will get you another plate. Two minutes later he comes back with what I feel was the same food just with the cornbread removed. He insisted it was a new plate even though the new plate had butter on it. I am not one to complain so I asked for a box to take it home for someone else. When the bill came for my friends, I was charged the wrong amount for the chicken and was charged for two sides! I couldn't believe that they messed up my food, I couldn't eat, then they have the nerve to charge me $18.00 for a small piece of chicken, a slice of bacon, and onions (which I later found out are all possibly cross contaminated anyway). After paying I spoke to the manager who claimed they are "usually" good about these things but gave me the excuse they were busy. She did refund my money however. Bottom line, I do not feel safe to ever eat here again.
Service here was outstanding. The waitress was on top of her game and was very knowledgable. Lots of gluten free items and was handed a sheet of paper to tell me what HAD gluten in it (short list). I had the Mojo Chicken and my gf had the pulled pork. I would def opt for the pulled pork, it was SO GOOD. Their sauces were gluten free and REALLY tasty. Their Brunswick stew was AMAZING and gluten free!!! Had my chicken had been better I would've given this place 5 stars. Their French fries were made in house and so good!
Food was amazing! Incredibly knowledgable staff! They make notes on orders to ensure that gloves and utensils are changed. The understand food allergies and the ingredients in their meals. They even label fries as containing gluten because of cross contamination. I will eat here every time I am in St. Augustine!
Their menu states their fries and chicken wings are gluten free, yet they cook them in the same fryer with everything else. After asking the cooks said they could cook the wings on the grill. Anyways, if your celiac you can eat here but ask lots of questions and make sure you let the cook know your celiac
This was amazing BBQ!!!!!!! They had a sheet of things I couldn't eat and really it was stuff I already knew I couldn't have. I had the pulled BBQ with beans and mash potatos and it was good! We also shared nachos as an app and they were also amazing! I say give it a try as a GLUTEN FREE FRIEND.
Server and kitchen staff are knowledgable about celiac and proper food handling, and they assured a GF meal. Server guided me through the menu so as to avoid hidden gluten. Fryers are not separated; be sure not to have fries. I really enjoyed it!
Good BBQ. They have a list of items that contain gluten.
It was fun to have several sauces to choose from. We all had BBQ meats and tried several sides. Service was sweet, but plan a little extra time.
Had lunch there today. Service was good. Nothing out of this world. Food was good as well. Not the best BBQ I've ever had. Had the ribs. They were delicious but not hot. Sides I had were beans and a side salad. Both were just mediocre. Would I return? Maybe. But it wouldn't be my first choice for BBQ. So far no reaction.
If you're in the mood for great BBQ, this is the place to go. It's a gluten free, meatlover's paradise. :)

An efficiency portfolio standard is as important as a renewable standard — and should come first
[A guest post by a federal employee with over 30 years experience in energy and the environment (see "Utility decoupling on steroids").]
Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) are the darling of energy and climate policy. Simple in concept, an RPS requires that a certain percentage of electricity supply come from renewable resources. Twenty-six states plus the district of Columbia have RPS requirements of one kind or another, and when it comes to federal energy and climate legislation, the one thing nearly everyone agrees on is the need for an RPS.
As usual, California is leading the pack with a goal getting 33% of their supply from renewables by 2020. Congress is considering a federal RPS between 10% and 15% by as early as 2015.
All fine and good, except for one thing – from a policy perspective, an RPS is the cart before the horse. The sizzle without the steak. The bark without the bite. The sound of one hand clapping. It's the … oh you get the idea. It's zen policy. Sexy, even necessary, but not sufficient, and certainly not the kind of coherent and systematic approach we need if we're to avoid atmospheric levels of GHG in excess of 450 ppm and the hell on earth such a catastrophe would create.
What's not to like about requiring that a certain percentage of our power come from clean, renewable energy?
Well, for starters, it's only half a solution, and it's the expensive half at that.
If we push renewable portfolio standards without also pushing even more aggressive efficiency portfolio standards (EEPS), we'll end up chasing a goal that gets more difficult catch and more expensive to achieve with each passing year.
As Stuart Hemphill, a VP at Southern California Edison noted in a recent article in the New York Times, without EEPS, RPS targets grow as demand grows. The same article noted that since 2002 when California first established an RPS, there has been 16 times as much capacity installed using natural gas as there has been capacity from renewable energy.
On the other hand, if we establish an aggressive federal EEPS that must be met in the short term, we'll make RPSs easier and cheaper to achieve; we'll avoid the need for some transmission upgrades (but not all, by any means); we'll lower the cost to consumers; and best of all, we'll cut a heck of a lot more carbon, much sooner, and at a much lower cost.
And yet, EEPS are all but ignored in the drive to establish portfolio standards. A few states have incorporated anemic EEPS into their RPS legislation (Illinois, at 2% is one of the more aggressive) and federal legislation has been similarly weak in this regard.
In fact, it may well be that the best thing the Feds could do when it comes to an RPS is to let the states take the lead, and focus on an aggressive EEPS instead. The case is strong. States have different renewable resources and different reasons for enacting RPSs, and they have a substantial lead in many cases over what a federal RPS would add.
But the economically achievable energy efficiency potential is universal, substantial, and cheap. As ACEEE's analyses have shown, states can avoid building new, centralized generation for a decade or more by taking advantage of cost-effective opportunities to meet capacity needs through efficiency, demand response and on-site generation.
If the federal government were to formulate an aggressive, escalating EEP, it would compliment state RPSs by making them easier and cheaper to achieve. It would also put teeth in the drive to decouple utility profits from generation, as well as the myriad other efforts to increase the efficiency of energy markets, which – with the exception of codes and standards — remain largely hortatory, voluntary, and ineffective.
The advantages of an EEPs strategy can be seen by looking at how it would effect the energy bill at an individual home. As the EEPs took effect, the grid would become more efficient, and the homeowner would use less energy; meanwhile, as RPSs took effect, the cost of a unit of energy would go up. With an EEPs-based policy, although the homeowner would be paying more for each kW, she'd be using fewer kWs overall, keeping monthly costs for energy relatively stable. What's true for Joe and Jane homeowner would be true for the nation.
There are any number of ways to structure an EEPS. The most straightforward way would be to simply require that the nation get some per cent – say 50% — of new capacity from efficiency by a date certain. This could be a blunt instrument with a lot of hidden implementation issues.
A more precise method that allowed for variations within each state could work as follows. Congress would provide grants and require each state to identify the potential for cost-effective energy efficiency, demand response and on-site generation to displace the need for new centralized capacity.
The results of this analysis would be reviewed and certified by an expert team established by the Secretary of Energy. Once this was established, states would be required to take advantage of all demand side capacity before building any new capacity. If any state chose to allow construction of new generation before exploiting demand-side capacity, electricity from that source would charged a tariff to access the wholesale grid, equivalent to the difference in price between a negawatt and a watt.
Alternatively, Congress could simply ban construction of any new centralized generation from fossil fuels until all demand-side capacity was used up. Under either scenario, new capacity from renewable energy or fossil fuels with proven carbon capture and storage could be allowed.
[JR: We should ban all new coal without CCS in any event. We should not ban combined cycle natural gas.]
There are probably other and better ways of implementing a federal EEPS. But we'd better get busy and find them, or we'll be chasing a retreating goal with our RPSs and losing the battle to cut carbon as we do.
There is, lurking beneath a federal RPS and EEPS policy, a rather giant elephant no one seems to want to acknowledge.
We're trying to run a 21st Century national grid, with a 20th Century state-based regulatory system, and it won't work. It's tantamount to driving a Model T onto the bricks at the Indianapolis 500 and expecting to win. Increasingly, the opportunities to make our electrical system cleaner and more efficient require capacity to act and regulate at the regional and national scale, rather than at the state level.
A critical part of any successful climate and energy strategy requires us to reinvent the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and redefine the relationship between the states, regions and the federal government with regard to energy generation and distribution.
An intelligently designed federal EEPS could be the vehicle to begin that process.
[I would add that a McKinsey Global Institute report found that "Improving energy efficiency [could] offset some 85% of the projected incremental demand for electricity in 2030, largely negating the need for the incremental coal-fired power plants assumed in the government reference case" (see McKinsey: Fighting climate change is affordable).]

this is not part of a "carbon neutral by 2030" plan.
1. "repower america" already includes agressive efficiency because it has to. to replace coal, and much petroleum for transport, we build lots of clean energy, and we need both the smart grid and the lower demand to make that work.
2. the costs of fossil-energy on the utility bill are not the true costs. comparing kwh prices is old math.
3. a key difference of the 21st century is that it is changing faster and more unpleasantly than any unimplemented 20th century plans can handle.
3.b. if you casually throw away a decade here, a decade there of equipment adjustment, you're not paying attention.
1) Fortunately, I think our forthcoming Secretary of Energy gets this :-)
2) And in any case, efficiency upgrades to infrastructure ought to be a useful portion of the TBD economic stimulation plan, as:
a) As a distributed effort, it can be spread widely across the country, which is politically good.
b) There are many smaller efforts, which means that they can be relatively quicker to get going.
For instance: efficiency upgrades to schools and other public buildings that might need work anyway.
c) And finally, the construction business is likely to be in bad shape for a while, and this sort of effort can *usefully* absorb much effort in that industry. I've talked with construction guys turned solar installers [from SolarCity] and they've seemed like relatively happy campers.

Hey Joe!
What do your "wonk ee friends" say about energy efficency?
Attn: hapa
Your are not going to replace hydrocarbon tranportation fuels with any other materials. For example, boats, planes, trains, freight trucks, intercity
buses, cars and light trucks with spirit and muscle (i.e., V-8 engines), motorcycles, etc as well as heavy machinery used in construction, mining, agriculture, forestry, and in particular Diesel-electric generating systems will always require and use hydrocarbon fuels prepared from oil becasue these fuels have high energy density.
More imporantly, oil exists free in Nature and these fuels are prepared primarily by fractional distillation and blending, low energy processes that do not reqire the breaking of chemical bonds. Even catalytic cracking of heavy oil fractions to lighter hydrocarbons in the gasoline range is a low energy process.
Hydrocarbon fuels are chemically inert, except to reaction with oxygen and a few other highly reactive chemicals, and have low solvent power which reduces the material cost for fuel storage and delivery systems. These fuels are highly portable and can be be stored indefinitely in sealed containers and in tanks under an inert atmosphere. Gasoline can be used over large range of air temperature e.g., from -40 deg to +40 deg C.
harold: i said we'd electrify much or most of transportation — sometimes by sector and sometimes by vehicle and sometimes by mile — and that's what i meant. you can imagine that i said "every mile of every mode" if you want. i give you permission.
Sorry, it ain't ever going to happen especially for boats, planes and trains.
You're right, we're REALLY GOING WRONG by not focusing enough on efficiency. For instance, New Jersey's Draft Global Warming Response Act Recommendation Report doesn't do nearly enough with efficiency. FORTUNATELY, we're entering the public comment period, with meetings from Jan 6-16 in Trenton. Hope to see you there. A short blog post summarizing the issue is here: http://www.greenpoliticsnj.com/2008/12/nj-global-warming-sharpen-our-response.html
harold: everybody here would really enjoy if you would just one time say, "there's no such thing as an electric train." after that, maybe you could devote your life to inventing a new background story for the phrase "third rail."
there are also such things as electric boats, aside from the nuclear ones that named the famous industrial group. they are hybrid cargo ships with sails (generating electricity with wind pull), solar, even wave energy capture. again, this is about reducing the fuel used; switching to a cleaner fuel mix is not impossible. reducing redundant shipping is easy, too.
This is an interesting concept. To make this work, you need a constituency to drive it (e.g., industry) – that's just politics. Then, you would have to figure out how to slice the pie – commercial, residential, municipal, federal, etc. I like where this could go…
Attn: hapa
The reason Diesel engines are used extenstively in industry and commerce for transportation is that these engines have high thermal efficiency. A modern Diesel engine has a thermal efficiency of 50% and this is highest of all thermal engines. A coal-fired power plant has a maximum thermal efficiency of 40%, and nuclear power plants have thermal efficiency of only 30-35%.
Electric trains are fine for dedicated passenger service, but not for hauling freight because electricity is too expensive. Overhead electrical sevice lines would not be able to supply the enough power for long freight trains (more than 100 cars) especially for those that have to go over mountains like the Rockies. In the Canadian Rockies, snow and rock slides are not uncommon and would take down the lines, and traffic would come to a stand still.
Harold Pierce Jr — Just to the south of there, in Idaho and Washington State, it used to be that the railroads were electrified, to go over the mountains.

All trains, freight and passenger.
Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standards are an important tool in the national toolbox: they will drive widespread adoption of energy efficiency behaviors and technologies in the market with all the attendant benefits (energy usage reductions, $ savings, positive environmental benefits). How best to implement these standards? The author mentions a few states that have incorporated anemic EEPS into their RPS legislation.
I would also point to what's going on in Connecticut. It adopted a mandatory EEPS target of 1% in 2007, 2% in 2008, 3% in 2009 and 4% in 2010, with a compliance payment of $31/MWh and the creation of a market for trading energy savings certificates. Currently, the market is trading around $20-25. Just recently, CT's market for energy savings certificates was opened up to the residential market if at least 100 kWh is aggregated (see CT DPUC Docket No. 05-07-19RE01). This market is attracting increasing private sector activity.
I would argue that:
(1) A market-based approach to an EEPS can work
(2) There needs to be transparency and liquidity in the market (CT is working on this, as a new market, it does not yet have the kind of transparency or liquidity you see in more mature markets and that are required to attract large private sector investors)
(3) High quality measurement & verification is essential in a market approach – investors want to know they are investing in high quality projects and regulators need to know the projects are delivery the goods
(4) The residential sector presents many significant opportunities for aggregation, and a market-based approach to EEPS offers this challenging sector a new vehicle to finance large scale residential projects
(5) Combining an EEPS with an RPS is an effective way to have one help pay for the other, and to ensure that an RPS doesn't unintentionally contribute to an increase in energy consumption
Connecticut provides an interesting model that is worth a closer look. As to results and performance, it's too early to tell – but in a year or two we'll all have data to look at.
Al nice and dandy, but without no long term policy no ideal solution. So what we should be pushing for first? Let us take the case of the clean air act or the clean water acts, and their ups and downs. The CFR 40 (Environment, which include the mentioned acts) define standards, that usually are role-up under Democratic administrations and role-back under Republican administrations, that are the law. You have define standards, benchmarks and acceptable methodologies to assess who is in compliance and who is not. Such national framework becomes the baseline for the States and Municipalities, and present them with the challenge to match an improve. We can have a section in the Code for Renewable Energy, which should tie with other regulations, with its own baseline for EEPS and/or on how you develop an RPS. Two direct effects: (1) provides States and Municipalities with a baseline and (2) gives the private sector a regulatory piece that is critical to their decision making process and the sustainability of any business venture. For that, we need the involvement of all stakeholders for a comprehensive policy vision, goal and framework for renewable energy in the US.
A note on the efficiency issue: looking back to renewable energy statistics at the International Energy Agency, you find that a significant contribution of energy efficiency to the ratio of renewable energy generated. On the other hand, energy efficiency is limited it can go as far as you can improve systems and processes through the energy life cycle (generation, distribution and consumption). Energy efficiency is a short term game, once we all work within the standard, we face the real challenge: a sustainable renewable energy based society.
