  Mike Robertson, the environmental policy consultant for the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, said the business community backed the clean water legislation out of fear that more growing communities will find themselves in similar situations.

  Clean-water bill is in trouble - [Cached Version]
  Published on: 5/5/2005    Last Visited: 3/14/2008  

  Mike Robertson, environmental policy consultant to the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, said that delay on the bill would be a setback, and that business= es and residential areas will not be able to expand in some areas if rivers and streams are not cleaned up.
  
  A bill in the Senate would pay for the Clean Waters Legacy effort using the tax-supported general fund.It's not clear where the additional general rev= enue would come from.
  
  "What I'm beginning to feel is that this is one of the issues in the endgame: that it's a priority issue that doesn't get addressed until the very end of the session," Robertson said.

  Mike Robertson, a consultant for the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, said that global warming has also been discussed extensively by businesses in recent months."We are not going to debate any longer the question of science on whether climate change is occurring," he said."Our issue will be how will we reduce the greenhouse gases as a state, as a nation, and as a global community."
  
  Robertson said that the solution must be federal, but that some state actions may be appropriate as long as they are reasonable and don't raise energy costs significantly for business and industry.
  
  Sen. Ellen Anderson, DFL-St.Paul, chairwoman of the Senate budget committee for environment, energy and natural resources, said that policies to reduce greenhouse gases can go hand in hand with economic development, especially in rural Minnesota.Anderson advocates requiring power plants to produce 25 percent of their electricity from renewable sources by 2020.The transition would reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, she said, while creating jobs and building the wind industry in Minnesota.

  [picture]DeCSS meets MP3.com?Well that's what the title of the news article would have been if this has happened a few years back.Norwegian infamous hacker Jon Lech Johansen (aka DVD Jon) has flown to the San Francisco to work with maverick tech entrepreneur Michael Robertson.Johansen spoke with Wired about the issues surrounding the move to the United States and how he feels to be on the verge of working with Robertson.
  
  "I have no idea what I'll be doing, but I know it will be reverse engineering, and I'm sure it will be interesting," he said.Johansen became one of the best known names in the tech world after his work with DeCSS, which could decrypt Content Scrambling System on DVDs, allowing you to watch your movies on the Linux operating system.DeCSS angered the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) who pursued Johansen in Norwegian courts but lost.
  
  Robertson has hired Johansen for a new project called Oboe at his company, MP3Tunes.com.MP3Tunes.com allows consumers to purchase MP3 downloads that do not contain any Digital Rights Management (DRM) protection, allowing the consumers to do pretty much whatever they want with the music files."We have been e-mail acquaintances for a while," Robertson said.

  Michael has good lawyers."he said.
