Change in listing of oil imports

As part of my daily routine at work, I regularly check local fuel prices and the price of the barrel of crude. I use oil-price.net. I cannot remember what the former listing for crude was but I know it is not what is currently listed on that site. Crude was listed as a single listing under one name. Now it is listed under two names. One is WTI or West Texas Index and the other is Brent Crude. I was just curious as to why the sudden change. Are we now longer buying from OPEC? Are they no longer accepting our money? Is the situation in Egypt worse than what the news is telling us?

Renewable energy can replace coal

I had to line up the various negatives of burning coal for energy before sharing this next link. I think each of these negatives highlighted deserve separate discussions, should anyone be willing. But there is an alternative to the current methods, methods causing disharmony amongst life on Earth. All we have to do is make the choice.

The Eaerth (my word) is Moving

Feel it? If you concentrate hard enough you might!
I've read 2 of James Kunstler's books, he is an interesting writer and looks very good on the documentary video: "The End of Suburbia".  I highly recommend it. 
Anyway, this week's blog concerning the Egyptian election currently underway:

The United States is in a "Liquidity Trap"

Take a few minutes and think what would happen if the interest the FED charges member banks actualy sinks to zero, or less. There would be a few problems with that. Conversely typing, think again, what would happen if they raised interest rate up a few points. A few problems with that too. But now add in another element to the equation: massive fraud and corruption. An excerpt to the link below:
