Google has published an
analysis of the economic benefits of renewable
energy innovation. It has concluded that even a five year lapse without
a national clean energy policy would
cost the United States an aggregate

The study was about renewable energy in general, but:

Un juez federal concedió este lunes la solicitud de impedir que partes
de la ley de Georgia contra la inmigración ilegal entren en vigor hasta
que se resuelva una demanda.
El juez Thomas Thrash bloqueó partes de la legislación que penaliza a
la gente que transporte o albergue a indocumentados, y también detuvo las
cláusulas que le autorizan a los agentes verificar el estatus migratorio
de alguien que no pueda proporcionar una identificación adecuada.
Además, el magistrado sobreseyó partes de la demanda a solicitud
del estado.
La mayoría de las cláusulas que forman la ley iban a entrar en vigor
el 1 de julio.
Grupos activistas por las libertades civiles habían interpuesto una
demanda en la que le pedían al juez que declarara inconstitucional la
legislación e impidiera que entrara en vigor.

In case you have not emulated
Mayor Paul Bridges of Uvalde and learned Spanish,
here’s google translate’s version in English:
A federal judge on Monday granted the request
to prevent parts of the Georgia law against illegal immigration to take
effect pending resolution of a lawsuit.
Judge Thomas Thrash blocked parts of the legislation that penalizes
people who transport or shelter illegal immigrants, and also stopped
the clauses that authorize agents to verify the immigration status of
someone who can not provide proper identification.
In addition, the judge dismissed portions of the demand at the request
of the state.
Most of the clauses that make up the law to go into effect on July 1.
Groups civil liberties activists had filed a lawsuit in which he asked
the judge to declare unconstitutional legislation and prevent the entry
into force.

Pithy but factual.
We don’t need to feed the incarceration machine with a private prison
in Lowndes County Georgia that will profit private prison executives and investors at the expense of Georgia taxpayers and Georgia farmers.
Spend that tax money on rehabilitation and education instead.
John, this is the first open records reguest I did with GDA. The rest
will be in order of date of the request.
The document Shirley King attached for Item #2 was this
PDF
of a letter
from Joe Pritchard of 27 August 2010
telling USDA GDA all employees (presumably of the animal
shelter) had been drug-tested and were being interviewed.
Documents about the animal shelter are appearing
here on the LAKE web pages.
Here are the messages Susan Leavens forwarded along with this particular letter.
In Oaxaca, Mexico taco street
vendors are using the solar energy from the sun to cook their tacos.
This is being done as part of a project run by Michael Gotz who is
trying to find to what degree they can transform the use of solar
energy.
This would be great at stalls at Downtown Valdosta Farm Days
at the historic Courthouse:
practical cooking and marketing for solar Valdosta and Lowndes County!
Please understand that there are state laws that people get arrested for
each day also; the county ordiance mirrors the state law(s) however if
you have not read the statements no one was arrested either. And do you
think the bulldog was the first incident? Keep reading!! Below are some
other things which have occured in the shelter.
