		<description><![CDATA[Is this for real?  These show the % change in sales units as posted in press releases in early June for a random 7 automotive manufacturers.  (Note, I searched for recent ones by Industry - in this case, Auto Manufacturers.)
I was surprised to see such overwhelmingly positive sales results including Honda, Kia, Nissan, Hyundai, Toyota [...]]]></description>

If you lived in North Eastern Canada/United States, you&#8217;ll likely remember those days in August where the entire area was in a blackout with no electricity. Affecting cities including Toronto, New York and many more, we had a transmission line problem originating in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I generally push for higher standards in building energy-efficient homes.  It is far easier to build houses that are more energy-efficient, than to retrofit (upgrade an existing house).  Not only is it easier, it is cheaper, better on the environment etc etc etc.  So as much as I can holler on and on about why [...]]]></description>

I drive an energy-efficient 7 year old Honda Civic, while my husband drives an expensive to operate decade-old [...]]]></description>
