• Got a Boat? Join Lawsuit vs. Giant Oil Companies

  In the past couple of years, boat owners Erick Kelesceny, John Egizi, and Todd Jessup kept on filling up their boats' gas tanks like they always had, with unleaded fuel. What they didn't realize was that, since at least 2006, the big oil companies had been taking a chemical called methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) out of the gas mix and replacing it with ethanol.  Both substances increase oxygen content in gas, which gives it a higher octane, but ethanol was considered more environmentally

• Sun-Sentinel Gets Its Two Cents Worth

  Beginning Monday, Sun-Sentinel and WSFL-TV employees will get a little payback for driving on company time.   The ever-observant and hyper-vigilant management team has noticed that gas prices have gone down recently. So they're cutting the mileage rate from 42 to 40 cents.     Now that ought to help bring down that $13 billion in Tribune Co. debt to manageable levels! While two cents isn't going to make much of a difference in anybody's life, the source who sent me the

Based on party affiliation, who would you suppose is the one who wants to play hardball with Iran? And which one is a champion of the electric car?Wrong! The Republican's been tooling around the state in an electric car, and the Democrat's headed to Washington, D.C., to tell a U.S. House Committee it should toughen its stance on Iran.Deut

• One of the Worst Contractors in Iraq Lands in Palm Beach County

  Palm Beach County is running so smoothly these days, what it really needs is a taste of Iraqi-style contracting. Private companies rake in billions of dollars supporting the military operations in that stunningly successful war, so why shouldn't they also earn a buck or two at home? That's where Kellogg, Brown & Root (KBR) comes in. The Houston-based company is a former subsidiary of Halliburton. When Halliburton's ex-CEO, Dick Cheney, was in the White House, KBR was winning multibillion-dollar

• 49 States Green With Envy Over Florida's Environmental Progress

  Radio Green Earth: Making the world safer for tree frogs​Bet you thought South Florida was a lot more likely to win accolades for "best strip malls" or "extra egregious decimation of natural wildlife" than for anything much greener than development dollars. But it turns out Florida is among the top states in the nation when it comes to a clean, green energy economy, according to a study released last month by the Pew Charitable Trust. And we're also among the top ten states for jobs in the gre

• Palm Beach Billionaire Sailor Fights to Stop Wind Farm

  Flickr user: andjohanWind farm? NIMBY!​You'd think Bill Koch might be a fan of wind energy. The billionaire Palm Beach energy magnate made some of his fortune off eco-friendly geo-thermal and natural gas power plants. He's also an avid sailor who won the America's Cup in 1992.But it appears that when he's on dry land, Koch's fondness for wind falters. For the past several years he's poured more than $1.5 million into blocking the construction of America's first offshore wind farm because, well

• Koch's Spokesman: Wind Farm is a "Boondoggle"

  Flickr user: andjohan​Yesterday, The Juice brought you the tale of Bill Koch, the Palm Beach billionaire energy mogul who has spent millions of dollars to oppose an offshore wind farm that will sully his view of Nantucket Sound. We speculated that Koch's opposition might have something to do with the fact that his company, the Oxbow Group, mines coal and sells petroleum waste.Today, Koch's West Palm Beach spokesman, Brad Goldstein, called to yell at us

• Palm Beach Billionaire Koch Likes Tax Subsidies, Too

  Flickr user: andjohan​One of Palm Beach billionaire Bill Koch's main objections to a proposed offshore wind farm in Nantucket Sound -- which he has spent millions of dollars fighting -- is that it will require tax breaks to succeed. As the Juice reported earlier today, Koch has claimed that the annual $100 million in tax subsidies will be passed on to customers in the form of higher electric bills.This is a delightful bit of math for a couple of reasons. First, because the coal industry -- whi
