Hello, welcome to New Hampshire Outlook, I'm Beth Carroll. A tradition leading up to the New Hampshire primary has come and gone. For the last three weeks candidates running for president have filed their official paperwork to get on the primary ballot. Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton filed on Friday, the last day possible. Over the years the filings at the Secretary of State's office have become events in themselves. Outlook's Phil Vaughn has more on one of the biggest photo opportunities of the state primary. |

N1- New Mexico's governor Bill Richardson says he's ready to take on presidential issues. the presidency. Series of quick sound - PBS debate 6:59:10ish "We have to find a way to give every American access to a college education." CNN You Tube debate -4:09:25 "I would eliminate 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' in the military." Dartmouth debate - 22:48:43 - "I will do everything I can to fight terrorists." N2- Richardson's been the governor of New Mexico for five years. He's popular in his home state with an approval rating of nearly 70 percent. As a presidential candidate, however, he has a lot of catching up to do. Of the Democratic contenders, he's running well behind Senators Clinton and Obama in the polls. Politics and Eggs event - not most popular candidate clip N3- Richardson is ambitious on several issues including education. PBS debate 57:54 - "GOV. RICHARDSON: You know, sometimes when I talk about education, and this is the first time we have talked about it in any debate, the first thing you hear is, how are you going to pay for it? Nobody asks how we're going to pay for the war. " He shared his that vision with a full auditorium at West High School in Manchester. Quick clips about education plan from West High tape 2 Richardson 3-6:20 Phil - "YOU MENTIONED THAT WE ARE RANKED 28TH IN THE WORLD With REGARDS TO EDUCATION, WHY IS THAT? Well, we are ranked twenty-ninth in the world when it comes to science and math scores. It's because we don't emphasize science and math in our schools, we don't have enough science and math teachers. High school curriculums need to be revamped. We need to have schools to stimulate science and math. And that means investment. That means paying our teachers better.That means upgrading our curriculums." The following bite seems out of place. should it go before the west high intro? PBS debate 57:54 - "GOV. RICHARDSON: You know, sometimes when I talk about education, and this is the first time we have talked about it in any debate, the first thing you hear is, how are you going to pay for it? Nobody asks how we're going to pay for the war. " Sound from West High tape 2 - "how he would pay for his plan" N4- Once Richardson's speech at the high school ended, student's questions began. Quick series of questions from West High students to Richardson Richardson 2 - 3643/3713 - Kate Piscopo - "I respect that he gave an honest answer he didn't dance around the question. He actually addressed what we had to say. I'm planning to go on to college and concerned about the costs and I like the fact that he has a plan to reduce the costs because I can't afford it." Richardson 2 - 3920 Katelyn LeMay - "I was interested in the issue of drop outs and I wanted to hear how he is going to do that but he didn't give any tactics on how to keep students in school." Photos from Richardson web site N5- Before he was elected governor of New Mexico, Richardson spent 14 years in Congress. With the Clinton administration he gained diplomatic experience as the US Ambassador to the United Nations. Richardson's plan for the war in Iraq differs from the Democratic front-runners. Dartmouth debate 21:09:39 - "GOVERNOR RICHARDSON, YOU HAVE SAID THAT YOU WILL BRING HOME ALL TROOPS WITHIN A YEAR. YOU'VE HEARD YOUR THREE OTHER OPPONENTS SAY THEY CAN'T DO IT IN FOUR YEARS. HOW CAN YOU DO IT IN ONE YEAR? Well, I have a fundamental difference with Senator Obama, Senator Edwards, and Senator Clinton. Here's my position: Their position basically is changing the mission. My position in bringing all troops out of Iraq is to end the war. The American people want us to end this war. Our kids are dying. The bloodiest last three months. And my position is this: you cannot start the reconciliation of Iraq, a political settlement, an all-muslim peacekeeping force to deal with security and boundaries and possibility of a separation, which is a plan that I do believe makes sense, until we get all of our troops out because they have become targets." Richardson 1 -- Sound in elementary school speaking Spanish N6- Don't let the name Richardson fool you - he is Hispanic. Born to a Mexican mother and American father, Richardson grew up in Mexico City. He says as president he'll construct effective immigration policies - without building walls. Richardson 3-3:07 - Phil - "WHAT ROLE DOES THE UNITED STATES PLAY IN HELPING THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT, MEXICAN BUSINESSES CREATE WELL-PAYING JOBS IN MEXICO SO THERE ISN'T THE DESIRE TO LEAVE? One of the premises under NAFTA, the North America Free Trade Agreement, creating more jobs in Mexico would stop illegal immigration or curtail it. It hasn't happened. So first we have to insist with them that they do something about poverty in their country, that they find jobs in Central Mexico, that's where the biggest flaw is to the United States for their people. And maybe we'll work with them to do it. Maybe we'll have joint organizations to create jobs. But at the very least, be honest with Mexico, and say "stop giving out maps with in easiest place to cross," but most importantly, do something about the poverty in your own country." Richardson 3 - 4:27 Phil - "WHAT ROLE DID NAFTA PLAY IN ALL OF THIS? NAFTA has created jobs. But it fell short in several areas. One, we did lose jobs from the United States. Secondly, there were side agreements to protect the environment, to have job security, to have job protection and worker protection, and it didn't happen. And so, we've got to not have any trade agreements in our workers, that don't enhance environmental quality, that don't adhere to international labor standards, like slave labor and child labor." Sound at Politics and Eggs event about health care O/C - About 20 percent of New Mexicans live without health care insurance. That's higher than the national average. Richardson supports universal health care legislation in his state and says he will do the same as president. Richardson 3- 1:09 - Phil "You have a plan, the other candidates have a plan. The question is, how do you create bipartisan agreement - how do you bring people together to implement a plan? You bring people together by saying: let's get the politics out of it. I would ask the Democratic and Republican leadership: let's come together on a plan. Let's agree that everybody should be covered. But let's do it in the most efficient way. And let's keep politics and the attacks out of it. That would be my first request - it's a process issue. Then, I believe the first thing you need to do is deal with the inequities and inefficiencies in the existing system, rather that starting over, rather than taxing people, rather than creating a million new bureaucracies. That's what I would do. Phil - AND DO YOU THINK THAT'S POSSIBLE, KEEPING THE POLITICS OUT OF THIS ISSUE? If there's a new President, and it's a strong vote, you tap in to the enormous idealism of the American people, and the enormous dissatisfaction with the relationship with the President and congress that is basically dysfunctional. I believe it is possible." N7- While he's not been able to gain ground in NH, Governor Richardson, it seems, does believe in possibilities. Richardson 1 - 2015 2nd grade student - "What is your favorite book? My favorite book is by Doris Kearns and its about Abe Lincoln - how he was elected president and the moral is about how a candidate who was not doing well in the polls eventually became president." N8- Whether Governor Richardson lives out a storybook ending remains to be seen. One thing that is certain - he knows how to pick a baseball team. Dartmouth debate 22:58:00 - "FOR MANY HERE IN NEW ENGLAND, THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION MAY BE THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE YOU ANSWER TONIGHT: RED SOX, OR YANKEES? GOVERNOR RICHARDSON. Red Sox, because Manny Ramirez is back. The Red Sox will win the Pennant, and they will win the World Series." N8- For NH Outlook, I'm Phil Vaughn. |

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.
