Now live from London

First of all, thanks so much to John from Dymaxion World for his excellent posts on peak oil and other energy issues while I was away. I've actually been settling in London for a few days now, but have had trouble obtaining reliable internet access. Hopefully I'll be blogging regularly from this point onwards.

The British press have been reliably scathing on the handling of Katrina. And I'm very glad that the U.S. press seem to have stepped up to the plate for once too. The other item that is big news in the U.K. is the court martial of 7 elite soldiers from the paratrooper regiment who battered an Iraqi teenager to death. They are being charged with murder.
