Venezuela Rising As seen through the eyes of grandmother and community organizer Gladys Bolivar, the documentary "Venezuela Rising" follows her and her compatriots five days before it is to be decided by popular referendum whether Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez will continue in office or step down. The entire nation has been mobilized–will it be SI–yes he will be recalled, or NO–he will remain in office. Most in Venezuela feel that no less than the entire future of their country is at stake.

So the cost of a gallon of gas has reached $4.00. Yet our nation is
consuming imported oil and natural gas at a steadily increasing
rate. Meanwhile, we may now have passed through the pivotal point of
"Peak Oil," leaving the world with an inexorably diminishing supply of
oil in the face on continuously growing demand.

When we look to our leaders for solutions, the best they can come up
with is a "Gas Tax Holiday"!! The folks at the CoRE Project think it's time
for an "Energy Reality Check." There is mounting evidence that high
energy prices are here to stay and that still higher prices are on the
way. Prices for gasoline are already $8/gal in Ireland and $12 in
England.

Retired University of New Hampshire professor Clifford Wirth will be
in Troy for the evening of Wednesday, June 11, to present his analysis
of just how serious is the predicament that we are facing. Following
his presentation, Prof. Wirth will join a panel of local policy makers
