links to photo essays from within the article are extraneous, as the photos aren't specific to the para from which they are linked.

This is unfortunately shallow. It may simply be a report of an announcement by the group Apimondia but it could/should have explored the issue in much greater depth, using more sources. This is an important issue that deserves more than a quick nod.

A sensitively written obit that reveals Nicholas Hughes as his own person rather than simply the son of famous - and tragic - parents.

Provides background and context to research results recently published in the journal Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry. It could have gone into more depth, but as a short report on recent research is ok.

A detailed roundup of new cars, both concept and production vehicles, employing various technologies to reduce fuel consumption. The article is primarily about partially electric and electric drive cars, but includes other design elements in the analysis.

The long-term environmental value of plug-in electric vehicles somewhat eludes me, as power generation from coal- and oil-fired plants is still too ... More »

If oil prices stay low, it may dampen consumers’ interest in the next big thing: electric-drive cars. Big financial incentives from federal and state governments could ... More »

Google Street View and the issue of privacy of people who are photographed "in the street" by Google have been reported before - particularly in the UK. This story really doesn't add anything new - it barely even notes that the Street View service was recently "launched" for the UK.

A nice summary of the Global Green New Deal Policy Brief but does not additional perspectives or place the brief within a broader context.
