Yesterday I noted Robert Samuelson laying out some harsh but needed truths: entitlement programs, especially Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, are growing at an alarming rate and will soon come to push aside other necessary spending. These programs represent an tremendous wealth transfer from young people to senior citizens which in the not to distant future will necessitate massive taxation on young workers to keep benefits at their projected levels. Today the Financial Times reports that due to these enormous long term liabilities and the lack of action about them may cause the credit rating agency Moody's to downgrade the federal government's credit rating: The US is at risk of losing its top-notch triple-A credit rating within a decade unless it takes radical action to curb soaring healthcare and social security spending, Moody’s, the credit rating agency, said on Thursday.

The arrests are part of police efforts to dismantle a large criminal syndicate in which the two men are allegedly involved. During the four month covert operation, 28,500 MDMA tablets have allegedly been seized, with a street value of $1.4 million. Police said more than one kg of MDMA powder was also seized, which could potentially be made into tens of thousands of tablets worth about $1.1 million. Police have also charged a third man and are questioning a fourth. A 25-year-old man from Newrybar in NSW will appear at Byron Bay Local Court on December 7 charged with possessing prohibited drugs, possessing equipment for administering prohibited drugs and having goods in custody. A 23-year-old man from Suffolk Park was arrested at his home tonight and is being interviewed at Byron Bay Police Station.

Hydrogen study fuels possibilities
One of the latest advances comes from the lab of Bruce Logan, who is also director of the Penn State center. An energetic, bearded fellow who drives a Toyota Prius hybrid but who usually walks more than a mile from home to school, Logan studies how to "make" hydrogen. It's the most plentiful element in the universe, but it is generally bonded to other elements such as carbon and (in the case of water) oxygen. So these molecules must be broken apart - a process that requires a fair amount of energy, especially in the case of splitting water. Not so good when the end goal is to make energy. For now, hydrogen is most often produced by using steam to "reform" natural gas - which consists mainly of methane, a hydrocarbon. But that's a fossil fuel, and the process releases heat-trapping greenhouse gases that are blamed for global warming.
