Those races might not have been close had the voters needed to show valid ID during the voting process. I want thumb prints as well make it harder to cheat & lie. I am from southern California where dead people, pets, and pre school children have gotten Absenty Ballots. Worse we here about this going on after an election. How many of these ballots are getting counted almost all, very disgusting when our Service Members votes are not being counted because they are late do to mail service. That is absolute voter suppression.
Fisker Automotive, the struggling government-backed hybrid sports car maker, terminates 75% of its staff in what sources said was a last-ditch effort to conserve cash and stave off a potential bankruptcy filing. The company, which raised $1.2B from investors and tapped nearly $200M in government loans, has only around $30M in cash remaining. About 160 workers were fired at a Friday morning meeting at its Anaheim, Calif., headquarters, and were told that the company couldn't afford to give them severance payments. [View news story]

Exit polls in Greece show the 2 pro-bailout parties garnering just 32-36% of the vote, maybe not enough to form a majority government. It's a shocking fall for Pasok and New Democracy, which together claimed nearly 80% of the vote in 2009. "The exit polls confirm ... there's no political consensus for the kind of reforms Greece must implement if it wants to remain in the eurozone," says Nicholas Spiro. [View news story]

Spain is even worse than that. There banks have given Portugal large amounts of loans. Without Portugal getting a bailout soon Spain will be much much worse. They may not have gone through all the cooked books from the last govt. and if they have not or are still figuring it all out it could lead to an opening of Pandora's box moment. Would not want to be left holding the bag at that time for sure.

Philblock fuel cells are old news they may be great for laptop and other devices for transportation they are way to late. There are other tech that will work for a time creating a buffer to the H2 economy which will take over in the next 5 or so years. The tech is simple and the big question is how fast can they be made to replace all these engines and large batteries? I do not know yet but I intend to try and find out. Best Wishes and wish us all good luck.

Michael great stuff but it all hangs on Merkel she is trying to stay in power yet if the other parties say no more to bailout tsunami. then she will have to come up with a workable plan to change the EU for the better.

The EU may need way to much $ to fix any time soon even able to print there own funny money. Best Wishes
Quantitative easing will do little to boost the U.S. economy, says economist Joseph Stiglitz. Instead, it risks triggering currency and trade wars that will leave the world worse off. Rather than unilateral action, the world needs a “growth compact” aimed at spurring economic expansion around the world. He had hoped that G20 leaders would have started addressing the topic at the summit in Seoul, but now he feels the meeting will be spent dealing with the unintended consequences of the Fed’s action.
