So much for the White House dream of solar selling like hotcakes. The first federal auction run by the Bureau of Land Management to sell chances to build solar power projects on public land went completely bust on Thursday.
Nobody showed to bid.

Chief Prognosticator
….of the Cult of Status Quo, President of the Sen. McCain fan club, and authour of Romney FTW! presents his latest work of fiction:
Stop them, Hillary! A seminal work of horror released on the eve of Halloween for the go-along to get-along crowd.
Stop them, Hillary! was released to glowing reviews like this from Mike:
Hi. I’m Mike…from Canmore.
In Washington, an elderly affluent tourist from Arizona by the name of John, had this to say:
GAHHHHH!
Prior to writing Stop them, Hillary!, the authour went deep undercover for research. Maintaining his cover, he graduated from the Dick Morris School of Crystal Balls.
This work is sure to galvanize absolutely no one in the run up to absolutely nothing.
Birds of a feather,
Mr. Bo was counted as a friend by Montreal’s powerful Desmarais family, which cultivated the Bo family for decades and saw its businesses in China grow as Mr. Bo rose in power. Canadian politicians also sought him out: Prime Minister Stephen Harper and former prime minister Jean Chrétien were among the last high-profile foreign visitors to Chongqing, the southwestern Chinese city Mr. Bo governed until his arrest on corruption charges.

The Sound Of Settled Science
Via Climate Depot;
A paper published today in Quaternary Science Reviews reconstructs the size of four glaciers in Alaska over the past 1500-2000 years. For each of the four glaciers, the authors find the termination point at the end of the record in the late 20th century was approximately the same as during the Medieval Warm Period ~1,000 years ago. According to the paper, the data “supports solar irradiance as the primary pacemaker for centennial-scale fluctuations of mid-latitude valley glaciers prior to the 20th century.” The authors find all four glaciers advanced during the Little Ice Age, which was the coldest period of the past 10,000 years, and have regressed during the recovery from the LIA to termination points similar to those during the Medieval Warm Period.
