  That is right Charlie. It is your money. Would you like to see it spent thriftily or wastefully?

  Sure. What is half a million dollars, when someone else is footing the bill?

  Campaign Calls on North America's Largest Stadium to Go Solar

  While NFL frnachises have large operating budgets (often being toys of the very rich), universities have smaller funds for these types of projects. The cost to the university would greatly outweigh the benefits.

  Boy you are sure backpedalling from your earlier statements, and projecting nicely. You are constanly harping that someone's research is biased because they work for some company (oftentimes an oil comany), now state that you make no such claims. I will remember that the next time you accuse a researcher of being in the pocket of "big oil." However, I suspecty that will not keep you from rejecting good research in the future. Then, after all your complaints about biased research, you have the nerve to claim that I am the one making these statements. How juvenile.
  Many large corporations are conducting climate research including Alcoa, Bell, and Conoco.

  How many times to I have to answer your question before you accept it. Is no, not a satisfactory answer for you. At least I admit that I work for business. You deny you work for government. Taxes are raised by the local community, maybe state and federal taxes are thrown in also (I am not sure if your school operates similarly to those here), and used to help fund the schools. If you were employed by a private school, then I would agree that you are not a government employee.
  Everyone is biased to some extent based on their experiences and beliefs. Your biases are evident by your posts. You think your working for the government does not bias you, yet you routinely hail work presented by NASA, NOAA, the EPA, and deride those produced by the private sector. Sounds rather suspicious to me. Do you really believe all those people doing government work are really that self-less and those working for business are selfish? Maybe that is why you are so concerned about where someone works rather than the actual research they perform.

  Actually Craig, you were the one who brought up working for business. This seems to be a typical tactic of yours. Bring up something, then when someone responds, claim innocence that someone else started it. How juvenile. Only you could come up with the previous definitions of "working for the government." If you are so ashamed of being employed by your local government, then why not change? I admit I worlk for business. Why do you not admit that you worl for government?
  Funny how you can accuse me of being biased in favor of business because I work for business, but you are somehow immune from the being biased towards government because you are a government employee. Maybe Craig is "holier than thou" and completely unbiased in spite of all his experiences. Somehow that argument rings rather hollow, don't you think?

  You appear to have a different opinion that what others do. Follow this link and click on the hot link next to source URL, and follow it to logal government. There you will see higher education listed under government function with the number of employees.

  Whether you choose to divide the employers between businees and government, or public and private, doesn't matter to me. You can call yourself a public employee of government employee, or whatever, the name does not change your designation.

  Laws, or at least courts, determine liability based on who caused the most damage, not on who profited the most. In this case, the Ecuadorean government appears to have caused the most damage, but you appear to think that because they are poor and inept that they should not be held responsible, and it should rest entirely on the shoulders of the big, bad corporation.

  Also, unless Texas operates differently from everyone else, public schools (including community colleges) are considered government run because they recieve funding from taxes.
