Marketplace is local times — and everybody knows they are NOT NPR.
MSNBC is, I think, between 4 and 4:30.
Yes, I know. It’s too late to set your DVR’s. [Note to self: As if.]
Both of these were last minute.

Joe,
Kudos and thank you for the most informative week ever on climateprogess. I’m just trying to absorb it all.
David — I’m working on a blog post on Europe.
Paul — Thanks! Let’s hope I can do almost as well next week.
Unfortunately, I didn’t catch it.
Hi, I am from Europe. The article gets it right that utilities are turning to coal at the moment on a big scale. But the local resistance they meet is stiff. It is by far not sure that Kingsnorth in the UK will be built, as it is at the centre of a major NGO campaign. See http://www.wdm.org.uk/kingsnorth/
A climate camp will fight it this summer.
In Germany, local resistance has already stopped several projected coal power plants and a big new campaign is now just starting. See http://www.wwf.de/fileadmin/fm-wwf/pdf_neu/Karte_-_Standorte_der_Kraftwerke.pdf for a map.
So, the fight is on and we are determined to win. Keep on fighting in the US!
It’s overall a nice experience.In Germany, local resistance has already stopped several projected coal power plants and a big new campaign is now just starting.
