| Hello/Intro Berlin Return to index of stories... |
With the push of a button, it was an end of an era in Berlin as three of the four remaining paper mill stacks were demolished. Hello, welcome to New Hampshire Outlook, I'm Beth Carroll. For more than a century, Berlin's paper mill and its stacks have defined NH's northernmost city. That came to an end in September. The demolition followed the permanent closure of the mill more than a year ago. As Outlook's Richard Ager reports, Berlin residents must decide what will replace the mill, and determine the future of their city. |

NATS TAPE 1 2:27 clapping…hello everybody from Durham, NH 2:35 TRK1: MTV & the social networking site MySpace are teaming up for a Series of presidential debates -- Internet style. TRK2: In what's called a technological first…MTV hosts field questions from the in-house and on-line audience -- via cell phones, instant message & MySpace.com. SOT: Tape 2/ 2:44 CHRIS: What it really is…unfiltered conversation between candidates and youth of America. TRK3: … to do that you need to reach them where they are: On line. More than 1/3rd of voters under 36 say the internet is their main source of news. TRK4: MTV has been involved in Politics and youth engagement since 19-92 with its "Choose or Lose" Initiative. In 2006 …MySpace launched a voter registration tool allowing users to sign up & tell their friends. This marks the first time the 2 youth oriented powerhouses have worked together. Mtv screen THINK CONNECT 14:05 SOT: tape 2/ 3:27 beth: Now, when You cofounded Myspace.did you envision this kind of role in 08 election *** No I don't think so…3:34 we always had big ideas …our goal always to be biggest site in the world.and we haven't gotten there yet. 4:01 ** beth over shoulder shot ** 4:03 TRK5: Myspace Co-founder Chris Dewolfe says the social networking website is now the highest trafficked site in the country. SOT: TAPE2: Chris: because of that we feel we have a responsibility to give back and get involved in political process and just try and get younger generation engaged with candidates and issues 4:01 TRK6: Youth voters are considered a potential force in the 08 Presidential race. Their participation in Politics is up - fueled in part by the internet - which provides a cheap & efficient way to exchange information about candidates. SOT Tape 2: josh: This is a way for young people to dive into politics and get feet wet and get familiar with how it goes and inspire them to look into all the candidates and do as much research as they can 21:58 TAPE 1 SHOW: live vids page 56:19 I'm legally blind --what about plans for stem cell research? 57:05 Its personally important to me too… 57:34 fed govt needs to fund stem cell research TAPE 2: SOT: TAPE 2: CHRIS C: 25:21 I think what this does is it holds politicians accountable. so if sen Edwards says something likes or don't like… we can report that to him and give him a chance to react I think it's a wonderful innovation in being able to get regular people watching on line involved in a very real way. SOT: TAPE 1 23:50 I;m from NO and aid was slow, what would you have done differently… 24:00 everything…helping people 24:09 SOT: TAPE 1 SHOW tape Chris: 27:51 we asked people about sen edwards response on Katrina…wrapped in… measuring poll… TRK9: For Unh freshmen Kelsey O'Hara.it was a homerun. SOT: TAPE 2 KELSEY 30:57 he would have changed everything.and I really agree with him.Im going to vote for him now TRK10: Both websites offer Video on Demand of the debate content. SOT: TAPE 1 49:21 Universal health care.I was first to come up with specific proposal. Y 51:24 my plan says. Everybody by law has to be covered:28 51:35 do you feel take away from personal responsibility.No don't believe that:49 SOT: TAPE 2/ SKY: 22:40 Health care deciding factor. 22:46 Yeah it is.I' m leaning toward actually a man who won't implement universal h.c system I think it takes away from personal inititiave to be healthy. 22:58 TRK: The MTV/Myspace hookup was designed to reach the 18-24 demographic. CNN made a strong play for those youth demos with its YouTube Debates As for the Daily Show and Colbert Report -- they're cited as a primary source of news for teens and twenty somethings…but its unclear if those programs have any influence on the their voting choices.. TRK: So, Presidential candidates looking to connect with the younger generation are increasingly turning to social networking sites. 81% of MySpace's audience is of voting age, and the site's own research shows that audience is twice as likely to interact online with a candidate… as voters in general. SOT: tape 2 CHRIS: 6:06 we're looking forward to having another opportunity to talk to young people here at this event about the important differences between his position and other candidates. 10:23 it shows what important role young people are playing n this campaign. SOT: tape 2 / 6:52 Beth NH first location…for event by design…yes.everything fell into place perfectly 7:10 TRK: All of the major campaigns have agreed to participate in the joint tv and web debate aimed at engaging young voters in the political process. SOT: 29:36 did you learn more about John Edwards inform vote… I think answer to that is.do you know more…I think the answer is yes 29:43 *** TRK: When it comes to issues such as the War and Global Warming - it's young people who will be inheriting the consequences. SOT: Tape 1: 59:24 I think al gore is right.global warming is a crisis not just for the future. TRK: Getting them involved requires going to their medium of choice….the internet. Will the number of Myspace or facebook friends.translate into votes on election day - Maybe not - but one thing is clear. SOT: tape 2/ 4:08 Every single major candidate has a myspace page…next pres of the us is going to be a my space member…which we're really happy about. |

Ethanol could fuel price hikes Posted Saturday, March 31st 2007, 4:00 AM An ethanol-fueled boom in prices will prompt American farmers to plant the most corn since the year the Allies invaded Normandy, but surging demand could mean consumers still might pay more for everything from chicken to cough syrup. Corn is a key ingredient in many foods, from corn syrup found in candies to feed used in meat production. With more corn being used for ethanol production, that could raise prices in other areas where corn is used. Farmers are expected to plant 90.5 million acres of corn, according to the Department of Agriculture's annual prospective plantings report released yesterday. That would be a 15% increase over 2006 and the most corn planted since 1944. The move to plant corn is in large part due to a rush to produce corn-based ethanol, which is blended with gasoline. The corn rush was sparked by President Bush's initiative for support of flexible-fuel vehicles and his administration's plan to cut gas consumption by 20% in 10 years. The Associated Press -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

n New West Energy Grok ‘Ethanol Binge’ Hikes Corn Prices By Richard Martin, 3-23-07 Last week US BioEnergy had a ground-breaking ceremony at a new ethanol plant in Dyersville, Iowa, bringing to 78 the number of ethanol plants under construction, with 113 already operating. And that’s not good news for the ranchers and poultry farmers of the Rocky Mountain West. Amid the “ethaphoria” currently gripping agribusiness and certain parts of the nation’s capital, a growing chorus of voices is pointing out an unintended consequence on the reliance on corn and grains as the raw material for ethanol production: prices for feed fo livestock are rising, sending prices at grocery stores up as well. “This ethanol binge is insane,” Paul Hitch, president-elect of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Assn., told BusinessWeek. Corn prices have doubled over the last year, reports the Earth Policy Institute, while wheat futures are trading at their highest level in 10 years. The diversion of corn to fuel ethanol uses “is creating unintended consequences throughout the global food chain,” a Bloomberg analysis finds – not to mention increased use of pesticides and fossil fuels to grow all that corn. Meanwhile, the U.S. Congress has slapped a 54-cents-per-gallon tarrif on ethanol from Brazil – which is grown from sugarcane. Wonder what’s going to happen to rum prices. In other energy news: -- In a man-bites-dog story, Xcel Energy has applied to the Colorado Public Utilities Commission for an electricity rate decrease of $13.6 million thanks to lower costs of fuel, such as natural gas, and purchased electricity predicted for upcoming months. If approved by the PUC, the new rates would take effect April 1 and continue through June 30. Meanwhile, the Colo. attorney general has announced his support for HB 1208, which would alter the state’s Unfair Practices Act to allow big chain stores to offer big gas discounts. -- As Colo. Governor Bill Ritter’s legislative package to boost renewable energy, and increase oversight of the oil and gas industry in the state, moves closer to signing, Big Energy is faced with a dilemma: oppose the measures, and be seen as obstructionists and anti-environmentalists, or swallow hard and go along? So far the Colorado Petroleum Association is against House Bill 1341, which would reform the board of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, while oil giant BP—the state’s No. 1 natural gas producer—says it will take a wait-and-see approach. -- Earlier we reported that, despite the Bush Administration’s ambitious goals for technology to produce cellulosic ethanol from organic material other than corn, the research budget for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, which is leading the way on cellulosic science, had flatlined. That’s no longer the case: the Energy Department announced Friday that the NREL will get an additional $99 million in funding this year, a 47-percent jump. Comment By dukeco1, 3-23-07 Big Energy is not accustomed to going along. They are, in Colorado at least, accustomed to getting their way. They just need to sidle over and make room for all their chickens moving back in to the roost. Comment By Hal Herring, 3-23-07 Brazilian ethanol tariff shows the world that all our free market talk is just like all that talk about WMD. How much more credibility can we stand to lose? As we pump out the last aquifers to water the chem-corn.bust the last prairie for the GMO variety, importing as much oil as we can to drive those tractors that make the corn ethanol binge.keep those Wahabbis happy, don't you know, keep the money flowing to them as leaders pretend to "get off the product," wreck the land, keep the annuities for the families of the Islamic suicide bombers healthy, line some US pockets, and witness the end of the greatest nation on earth. Dang. Hal Boy, it ain't a pretty picture is it? Comment By Chris, 3-23-07 Not only that, but the plants that make the stuff are awful-smelling blights too. Last week I was working literally in the shadow of an ADM plant in Cedar Rapids, IA, that processes corn syrup from corn, and is in the process of building an ethanol plant. I don't know what was in the exhaust belching into the sky, but it sure smelled raunchy. I wouldn't wish that in anyone's backyard. Comment By pete geddes, 3-23-07 When we subsidize things that trade in the market, we benefit the well off and well organized at the expense of the most vulnerable members of society. This holds true whether in Bozeman, Boston, or Birmingham. Princeton Ph.D. George Will said it well: “The world is divided between those who do and do not understand that activist, interventionist, regulating, subsidizing government is generally a servant of the strong and entrenched against the weak and aspiring.” Comment By Francesco DeParis, 3-23-07 I think we should start supporting cellulosic ethanol in the same manner we support corn-based ethanol. There will come a point when corn prices are too high to consider this an economic alternative to petroleum. I comment about cellulosic ethanol onEnergy Spin: Alternative Energy Blog For Investors Served Daily Cheers, Francesco DeParis Comment By bearbait, 3-25-07 One result of NAFTA was that corn from USA was so cheap and available that it drove tens of thousands of small Mexican farmers off the land and to town to find work. Now that corn has doubled in price, tortillas have also doubled in price. The poorest in Mexico now have a harder time eating, and more incentive to move north. The end result, of course, is how much energy independence do you gain by having your country supporting another million or more illegal aliens in need of medical, financial, housing and education subsidy, all of which come with energy demands? Corn ethanol comes with costs, many of which are hidden. Again, a hero move supported by liberal midwestern politicians financed by MegaAg companies, comes with unintended consequences. The ones in Mexico have happened, and the ones here are on the conveyor belt to realization. Meat prices will have to rise, and we all will pay that price. Even the vegans will pay a higher price as soy beans are replaced by corn in the farm fields. Comment By cc, 3-26-07 That Xcel Energy news item relates to the monthly ECA which adjusts, up or down, for the commodity cost of natural gas feedstock, primarily. Thus, it is not that unusual to see a downward ECA result in an overall decrease in electrictiy rates for the following month. Incidentally, the same mechanism is found on the natural gas bills but it is called a GCA. Thus, this is not a "man bites dog" story, but something that occurs when natural gas prices decline.
