Western States Need to Lead on Carbon Storage, by
L. Poe Leggette .
Gov. Bill Ritter's 2007 Climate Action Plan has set out a thorough and ambitious program to reduce Colorado's emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG). Other Western states have started similar efforts.
But the linchpin of reducing GHG emissions without severe economic dislocations is the ability to capture these gases before they're released into the atmosphere and to store them for the long-term. Western states have begun focusing on this issue, but much more needs to be accomplished soon.

Alternative Dispute Resolution
Persuarding Non-Parties to Agree to Arbitration , by
Charles Forer.
There are several reasons why John and his newly-formed company would prefer to avoid a consolidation of all claims into one arbitration proceeding. The bottom line is that, as in most aspects of dispute resolution, it pays not only to understand the governing law. It makes even more sense to seek a win-win situation by making your adversary understand that agreeing on the procedures to resolve the dispute can allow all sides to save time, money, aggravation and energy.
