Reading around: Energy and soybeans

The UK's Guardian newspaper reports incoming Prime Minister Brown will go ahead with nuclear energy and windfarms.

Scotland's Sunday Herald headlines a short piece with Clean coal players jockey for position ahead of energy white paper. Most interesting to me was this:
The expectation is that the government will announce a competition between various energy generators to devise carbon-capture power plants. The winning companies would receive government backing for the final power plant, and we can now expect to see all parties jockeying for position.
Hey, Governor Daniels how about stealing this idea? I know it does not involve selling Indiana's assets but it sounds a much better public-private partnership than most of your ideas.

Thanks to whoever visited Trifles from the Indiana Soybean Board. I do wish that you had left a comment about the Board but thank you for letting me know that this Board exists. The website provides information about Indiana's biodiesel industry as well as the more obvious soybean farming. I have not had much time to do more than skim the site, but I do want to pass along this post:
