Monday open thread

Today is commenter and contributor appreciation day (because I declare it so). On TOD:NYC, peakguy and baloghblog discuss relocalization. Chris at TOD:UK covers parliament's reaction to the current energy situation in the UK. Engineer-Poet writes a letter to US voters about gas prices. Robert Rapier takes on the 60 Minutes report on ethanol last night. Odograph discusses the mileage that his Prius gets. Khebab takes on Norway at GraphOilogy. Jerome a Paris is looking for input on the current draft of "Energize America - A Blueprint for U.S. Energy Security". Yes, I know some of these have already been reported in earlier comments, but check them out if you haven't seen them! And if you'd like to nominate a blog post of your own for commenter appreciation day, go ahead and put it in the comments.
