Digby: "Clinton has officially suspended her campaign and thrown her support to Obama. I'm sure we'll hear a lot of very nice encomiums over the next few days. The media never loves a Democrat more than immediately after he (or she) concedes."

From The International Atomic Energy Agency: "Amid heightened international interest in nuclear energy, countries are paying closer attention to a finite resource that helps to make nuclear power possible: uranium. A report released today finds that new discoveries and re-evaluations of known conventional uranium resources will be adequate to supply nuclear energy needs for at least 100 years at present consumption level. Growing demand and higher prices have spurred greater investment in exploration and led to larger identified conventional uranium resources over the past two years. These are among the many findings in Uranium 2007: Resources, Production and Demand, the world´s most comprehensive publication on uranium. Colloquially known as the Red Book, it tracks present uranium supply and demand and assesses market dynamics to 2030 and beyond."

grist: "A quick post-mortem on this week's vote on the Climate Security Act, which was pulled from the Senate floor on Friday after its sponsors fell short of the 60 votes needed to proceed to final debate. I think I can safely sum it up in one word: progress. There's the obvious marker of a majority of the Senate -- 54 senators in all -- voicing support for moving forward with the bill. Forty-eight voted for cloture, and another six offered written statements of support. Only 36 voted against. But there's another important part of progress that's less obvious, what a colleague of mine calls 'clearing the underbrush' -- many in Congress don't focus on the finer details of legislation until it is set for a vote. In the past few weeks, Senate offices that never before explored the weeds of climate policy took a very deep dive."
