The Market Will Provide - 2006-04-26 Last week I found a local WaWa convenience store selling 87 octane for $2.87 a gallon. Disgusted with myself for being so excited, I strategically lined my car in unison with the others and waited patiently to be gouged.

Epiphanies in Sin City - 2006-04-12 It was a little after 4:00 a.m. on Tuesday morning in Las Vegas. The first round of sessions at the Power-Gen Renewable Energy & Fuels Conference didn't start for another five hours and I was too pumped to attempt another 'go-around' at some quality REM
You'll Buy It, and You'll Like It!!! - 2006-04-05 In September, 1982 I started a very lucrative business within the sterile, fluorescent-lit hallways of Southhampton Middle School.

Don't Slow the Ethanol! - 2006-03-08 A few years ago my neighbor's eight-year old son left his front gate open, resulting in the family dog running away. For days the kid was in tears. As would any child who lost his dog, especially knowing that it was his fault for leaving the gate open.
Private Eyes on Ethanol - 2006-03-01 It's easy to talk about something when you have conviction. The truth is, sometimes you can have so much belief in your cause that expertise comes secondary to passion, and the information gets muddled
Green and Greed in Las Vegas - 2006-02-22 It's 2:45 a.m. in Las Vegas. I'm up a few hundred bucks and still sober. The curvy cocktail waitresses with the plastic smiles and twinkles in their eyes didn't miss a beat. My Jack and Coke-filled highball never went dry

Supplementing German market share - 2006-02-08 Back in 2002 I took my fourth trip to Gottingen, Germany - a small, university town just north of Frankfurt and east of Dortmund.
Washington State loves Green Markets - 2006-02-01 Driving through the magnificent landscape of the Cascade Mountains on my way to Seattle, I stopped off at a log cabin rest stop for a cup of overpriced coffee and an organic breakfast.

Reassembling the Past for Future Profits - 2006-01-25 Over the weekend I had lunch with my 90-year-old grandmother. Nearly a full century old, the woman is tough as nails and sharp as a tack. And she's often more than willing to prove it

Slippery Ted strikes again! - 2005-12-21 And that's been my argument all along.

Calling the bureaucratic bluff - 2005-12-14
I've never made it a secret that environmental concerns are a priority for me come election time.
