Isn't it amazing how many inconsistencies are filtered through modern minds? For example, how is it that many college students decry the racist, even capitalist, backgrounds of some of their campus benefactors? Yet they give wide birth to others who held similar racist views in their time.
Students want dorm names changed at Harvard, and President Calhoun's name taken off buildings at Yale; Cecil Rhodes is no longer admired for providing scholarships to study abroad; an avalanche of complaints circulate at the University of Virginia where Jefferson left his favorite legacy. Students are outraged that their benefactors would by today's standards be considered racists.
STATE HOUSE — In the wake of the suspension of Kinder Morgan's major natural gas pipeline project in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, the Baker administration's energy chief on Tuesday stressed that "incremental" increased natural gas capacity continues to be a necessary component of its plan to meet demand and control cost in an environmentally friendly way.
Energy Secretary Matthew Beaton, testifying before the Senate's Committee on Global Warming and Climate Change, detailed for lawmakers how during times of peak demand during cold winter weather the percentage of oil-generated electricity in Massachusetts spikes dramatically to meet demand.
