Officials seek new power over financial companies
Pointing with dismay to the AIG debacle, the nation's top economic officials argued Tuesday for unprecedented powers to regulate and even take over financial goliaths whose collapse could imperil the entire economy. President Barack Obama agreed and said he hoped "it doesn't take too long to convince Congress."
U.S. Seeks Expanded Power to Seize Firms
The Obama administration is considering asking Congress to give the Treasury secretary unprecedented powers to initiate the seizure of non-bank financial companies, such as large insurers, investment firms and hedge funds, whose collapse would damage the broader economy, according to an administration document.

PRUDEN: Taking the show on the road
The president is aware not only that "it's the economy, Stupid," but he understands that Stupid can't think about two bad things at once. Worrying about where groceries come from is only human, and it helps close the sale abroad when Stupid is foolishly spending all his outrage on the AIG bonuses.

Obama’s just not that into you
Obama has to oppose nationalization today in order to achieve it tomorrow. He has to show the country and the world that he is doing all he can to help the private sector to sort things out with government help. He must ostentatiously invite the hated demons of Wall Street to join him in rescuing the banks in order, later, to say that he did his best to avoid having to take over the banks. Only then will nationalization be an acceptable alternative — when he has run out of other options.
Meanwhile, he makes sure the private sector won’t play ball by going after their bonuses, sending an implicit message to the other executives on Wall Street that reads: Stay away.
Even when he takes over the banks, as he almost inevitably will, he is going to have to dress up the nationalization as a temporary measure forced on him by the economy and the previously unrealized depth of the problem. He will cite the example of Sweden, where the government nationalized the banks only temporarily and returned them to private hands quickly.
You can’t be for nationalization. But Obama hopes to accomplish it nonetheless.

Europe to Get Smart Meters by 2020
The European Parliament also managed to add a provision under which every household is to have "smart meters" allowing them not only to carefully screen and control energy consumption, but also to sell energy back to the network, for instance by installing solar panels on the roof.
"The price of electricity in particular is determined by when the peak hours are," British Labour MEP Eluned Morgan explained to journalists at a press conference. "So if you could take the peak hours out by getting people to use dishwashers or washing machines at night, you would get a more sophisticated way of using electricity. These smart meters can actually speak to the generator and tell it to stop putting up the amount of energy they use."

"Are you punchdrunk?"
Srsly. I haven't watched the whole thing yet, but that ill-timed laughter creeps me out BIGTIME. It sounded like a cross between nervous laughter and maniacal evil-overlord giggling. Neither of which is very reassuring from the most powerful man in the world.
Treasury's toxic asset plan could cost $1 trillion

On a mission to change the world
KEVIN Rudd today embarks on the most important foreign mission of his prime ministership.
His ambition is epic.
He wants to transform the way the world is governed.
First, he will go to Washington to see Barack Obama for their first face-to-face meeting. He will also see the President's key cabinet colleagues. Then it's a day in New York with the mavens of American capitalism, the men and women who pull the levers of the US economy.
Then it's across to London for appointments with Gordon Brown and the Queen, and the critical G20 meeting.
The G20 is to Rudd what APEC was to Paul Keating.
Just as Keating did with APEC, Rudd wants to create a permanent G20 leaders meeting as the critical new instrument of global government, the new centre of institutional global power.
Rudd's ambition is even bigger than Keating's, for Rudd wants to change not just the way the Asia Pacific is run, but the basic institutions of global governance.
