Friday morning roundup: energy edition

Someone's in denial.

I'm actually with Gov. Palin on taxing oil companies, in proportion to (1) their profits and (2) the environmental risks of exploration.

Nuclear plant work is risky.

Plastic isn't evil; it's just that it needn't be so disposable.

I sense a theme emerging throughout these articles, especially in conjunction with the Gulf oil spill response piece in the New Yorker last week: our sources of energy are costing us lives, health, safety, policy choices. We're not even talking about coal or fracking here.

In other news: a soldier feels undeserving of his combat pay.
