The Boston Globe: In the Zero tank.

Yeah, I bet this story would have been given front-page play if John McCain were sitting in the White House presently...

New figures being released today show the recession helped drive down global warming emissions from Northeast power plants last year to their lowest levels in at least nine years.

Sing it with me... "Al-ways look on the briiiight si-ide of life" (whistle...)

But Pravda on the Bay was quick to point-out that not everyone is happy...

The drop in emissions may be good for the environment, but was not seen as reason for celebration. "What does this say about the state of the economy?" said Robert Rio, senior vice president of Associated Industries of Massachusetts "We could get 100 percent below the cap if we shut every business and moved them out of state."

Uh, Mr. Rio?  That's a feature, not a bug, of Obama/Patrick/Kennedy/Enviro-whacko "Climate" policy.  Don't give these savants any more brilliant ideas - unless you like the prospect of "industry" looking a whole lot like post-Roman Empire Europe, that is.

Sheesh - looking for the silver lining in economic depression.  Small wonder the Globe-Democrat is on the verge of being shut-down, eh?
