We Don’t Need No Stinking Sparky Cars
LG Chem was supposed to use Argonne’s design to produce the Volt batteries in its Holland plant once construction was finished. But according to a recent Inspector General report, the company’s employees have been too busy playing video games to produce any batteries, despite spending $142 million.

A New Pope, A New Target of the Far Left
After the appointment of Jorge Mario Bergoglio as Pope Francis, one would naturally think that most Argentineans would be happy that one of their own was now the head of one of the largest religions in the world. But not so if you’re a member or supporter of a Far Left government, such as is in control of Argentina today.
Looking back at history, the Catholic Church has always been on the enemies list of Far Left governments. Such was the case with Pope John Paul II, who the Polish people loved, but who was hated by the communist government in power there at the time.

Germany Forced to Cancel Climate Programs;
[T]he Environment Ministry is set to cancel several flagship subsidy programs this month — programs that were to be key elements of Germany’s transition away from fossil fuels and towards complete reliance on renewables.
Environment Minister Peter Altmaier, a member of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservative Christian Democrats, is set to cut the program aimed at promoting electric cars, a fund for research and development of energy storage technologies and a third program focused on protecting and expanding forestland in Germany as a way to absorb more CO2 out of the atmosphere. In April, further programs are on the chopping block, according to an internal ministry document seen by SPIEGEL. In total, 14 programs or one-time measures are affected.

The Decline And Fall Of The American Empire
At precisely one second after midnight, on March 1, Woonsocket would experience its monthly financial windfall — nearly $2 million from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as food stamps. Federal money would be electronically transferred to the broke residents of a nearly bankrupt town, where it would flow first into grocery stores and then on to food companies, employees and banks, beginning the monthly cycle that has helped Woonsocket survive.
