Green Jobs?: Nah, we'll take the coal, please - despite all the evidence showing it's a bad idea. A Center for American Progress report shows that Arkansas "could see a net increase of about $1.3 billion in investment revenue and 18,000 jobs based on its share of a total of $150 billion in clean-energy investments annually across the country. This is even after assuming a reduction in fossil fuel spending equivalent to the increase in clean energy investments."
Who Dunnit?: Was it frack water that killed 19 cows in Louisiana earlier this year? We'll probably never find out.
