Since a number of these aren’t political, I’m create an off-topic diary for them
Coal Ash Is More Radioactive than Nuclear Waste
the waste produced by coal plants is actually more radioactive than that generated by their nuclear counterparts. In fact, the fly ash emitted by a power plant-a by-product from burning coal for electricity-carries into the surrounding environment 100 times more radiation than a nuclear power plant producing the same amount of energy.

Florida High-Speed Rail Line Would Have Been Very Profitable
Three weeks after Gov. Rick Scott put the brakes on high-speed rail, the Florida Department of Transportation on Wednesday released a study showing the line connecting Tampa to Orlando would have had a $10.2 million operating surplus in 2015, its first year of operation.
It’s not the idea, it’s the execution (boy is that true).
There is a fallacy rooted in the minds of many who wish to become rich – the fallacy of the great idea. Having a great idea is not enough. It is the manner in which ideas are executed that counts. Implementation will always trump ideas, however good those ideas are.
Good ideas are like Nike sports shoes. They may facilitate success for an athlete who possesses them, but on their own they are nothing but an overpriced pair of sneakers. Sports shoes don’t win races. Athletes do.

Hi Dave, I’m trying to make sense of the blogged stories from today’s dumps. Everybody has their own spin. Looks like the leaks were of emails between B of A employees and Balboa Insurance employees. Balboa was at some time a part of the B of A family. They speak of forced place insurance. If the borrower fails to provide acceptable insurance the lender hires his own captive insurance company to provide it – and then absolutely rapes the borrower on the fee. Remedy? Borrowers should provide acceptable insurance so they do not get raped. Is there more here?
