Fifty-year-old Lucille Thorn got six years in prison for trying to meet a hit man at the Maryland House Rest Area on 95 to arrange the murder of her stepmother, Or as the ABC affiliate in PA would put it, "Greed can be a powerful drug, and it led 49-year-old Lucille Thorn down the abyss of a calculated cold-blooded plot."
Good news for your lungs, bad news for Constellation: "In a major shift, Gov. Martin O'Malley's environmental agency has decided to enforce air pollution rules at coal-fired power plants that were routinely ignored under past administrations."
(Anyone out there tried to go solar with BP or Chesapeake?)
Who knew?: In February and March the U.S. Marshals Service's operation FALCON initiative (a series of large-scale fugitive sweeps) in Baltimore netted 195 offenders for crimes ranging from murder and robbery to sex crimes and narcotics offenses.

The only problem is the cost for this will almost certainly be passed right along to all of BGE's customers.
Like they can't just jack up the prices anyway, with or without a reason-- thanks de-reg!
Anyone know anything about solar tax credits? Did they end in '04 and never come back?
Maryland consumers have been accustomed to paying only the marginal cost of fuelstocks plus the short-run average fixed cost of generating assets at book value.
A better pricing scheme will force them to pay:
the marginal cost of fuelstocks,
+ the long-run average fixed cost of generating and transmission assets,
+ the unit congestion price of those generating and transmission assets
+ the internalized environmental costs per unit of delivered power.
That means you pay a bunch more. Alternatively, consumers from Virginia outbid you and your lights go out, while Virginia's stay on.
With all the stink about BGE, and about gas prices, why haven't we heard anything from poiliticians (or the media) about solutions?
Like, bike lanes in the city so biking to work isn't suicide. Why don't we have those?
Isn't it time for more tax credits for investing in solar? There are a lot of good reasons to "get off the grid" and not be dependent!
