The whales stuck in the California river delta should listen to MC Lars and his timeless advice for whales concerning river deltas.

Wonderous Spam Poem
This caught my eye in my spam folder:

Fusion
Whooooooooooo!
We are approaching the long hoped for fusion future. The only green way forward.
An electrical circuit that should carry enough power to produce the long-sought goal of controlled high-yield nuclear fusion and, equally important, do it every 10 seconds, has undergone extensive preliminary experiments and computer simulations at Sandia National Laboratories’ Z machine facility.
Z, when it fires, is already the largest producer of X-rays on Earth and has been used to produce fusion neutrons. But rapid bursts are necessary for future generating plants to produce electrical power from sea water. This had not been thought achievable till now.
Sandia is a National Nuclear Security Administration laboratory.

Good pollination news
Finally some non scary good news concerning bees.
Whole hives are dying of the mysterious "colony collapse disorder," according to a succession of recent news reports.
It's a "Silent Spring" and - without the buzz of honeybees pollinating crops - there'll soon be nothing to eat except maybe the Soylent Green of B-grade science fiction fame. Right?
But wait: Oregon honeybees, it turns out, are more robust this year than they have been in years or even decades, local beekeepers say.
