Salazar sees offshore wind could replace coal in power mix
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar told an Atlantic City hearing that fully developed East Coast wind power could potentially replace most coal plants in the U.S. but industry groups call the claim overly optimistic. He noted the expansion would hinge on turbine size and offshore distance, with Cape Wind spokesman Mark Rodgers suggesting hundreds of thousands of turbines would be needed for 1 million megawatts.

Study finds 1 in 5 four year olds obese nationwide
A national study of 8,550 children born in 2001 shows 4 year olds have a 13 to 31 percent obesity rate by race. American Indians show the highest level at 31 percent, with blacks 21 percent and Hispanics 22 percent, whites 16 percent, and Asians about 13 percent. Researchers note early racial disparities and warn of future health risks without intervention.
