| Traveling Workers Told to Trim Expenses
Faced with a weakening economy, more companies are targeting travel and entertainment expenses. "Everyone's starting to think about what's going to happen if there's an economic downturn," says Adam Weissenberg, who heads Deloitte's travel industry consulting division. .
Climate Talks Urge Quick Cut to Global Warming
The target was a meeting the White House has scheduled for late January in Hawaii; industrialized nations are supposed to go hash out climate policies in a sort of "alternate" venue to the U.N. But several European diplomats in Bali suggested they'd boycott that meeting if the Bush team in Bali doesn't try harder to come up with language now on specific emissions limits on greenhouse gases. There's still time for some sort of compromise so that delegations can leave Bali with something to show for two weeks of conferencing. But to longtime climate negotiators, the Bali conference was always in jeopardy because of timing. It launches two years of negotiations that are supposed to create a new climate treaty by 2009. That period spans the U.S. elections, and it's likely that whoever replaces the Bush administration will have a different take on international climate regimes.

Environmental groups critical of proposed power plant
So far, more than 700 people and organizations have sent comments, said Adam Myrick, media relations specialist for the state Department of Health and Environmental Control. Santee Cooper wants to build two 600-megawatt generators near the banks of the Little Pee Dee River. The Pee Dee Energy Campus would be capable of powering 600,000 homes. Santee Cooper says if it doesn't build the plant, it will run short of power by 2013, possibly triggering brownouts and blackouts on peak energy days. Santee Cooper's plan has drawn strong support from the state's manufacturing base, with representatives from factories and smelters saying their plants might become less viable without inexpensive and dependable power. The plant also has generated vigorous opposition from conservation and citizens' groups, with doctors in Florence protesting recently outside DHEC's offices.
Investigate the farm owners
Taxpayers' dollars are being used to subsidize farm owners who may be exploiting workers. We live in a country where our government represents the people. Did the people vote to have $2 million spent on workers that the farm owners exploit? It would seem if the people could have a say in their tax dollars that $2 million would go to our schools or to help the elderly in our communities, not subsidize greedy farm owners in their bid to exploit foreign national workers. Farm owners should pay and take care of farmworkers! .
