Cyclists

In the article 'Scofflaw cyclists' the law and motorist outrage found in the Los Angeles Times talks about the outrage between cyclists and motorists. Who is at fault? Paul argues that its motorists who are not fair to cyclists by the aggression they show to the cyclists. Paul explains both sides of the cyclists and motorist point of view on this issue which is really good. At the beginning he states where his argument came from, a comment from an article discussing the issue of cyclists and then quotes a paragraph from this article. He also argues that NOT all cyclists avoid the laws they should be following. He knows and states that you do have your few scofflaw cyclists who run stop signs and such but that does not give the right for motorist to act in a life threatening matter.
I would say he makes a pretty good argument here. He shows where his argument originated from, as well as both perspectives of the cyclists and motorists. He also includes the California vehicle codes regarding cyclists. Another thing was him being a cyclists he had a lot of opinions about motorists, cyclists not wearing helmets and running stop signs and the many cyclists who are just riding the route obeying stop signs and red lights.

Nuclear Power Plants

In the article Obama urges new round of nuclear plants, Obama talks about how he will provide billions of dollars in loan guarantees to help build nuclear power plants in America. His first initiative is to help build a power plant in Georgia providing just over $8 billion in loan guarantees. Then tripling that amount to build more safer and cleaner nuclear facilities with a total of $54.5 billion loan guarantees. Some say the loan was stripped from the $862 billion stimulus bill Obama signed a year ago and that this proposal is a dangerous way to solve global warming. Obama is confident that this will work and that it is a positive thing for America. Federal regulators are reviewing the applications for the 22 power plants to be built over the next two decades.
