I thought rechargeable alkalines had all but disappeared.  I was not
thrilled by their lifespan in my Nikon, although the higher voltage they
delivered was a plus.  If they've improved, I'd take a second look.  I don't
believe the Ultra will recharge alkalines, but I could be dead wrong on
that.

And on another subject, today's WashPost had an article on greenhouse gases
that talked about dirty coal-fired plants:

"A committee of more than 100 experts from the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change concluded in 2005 that carbon sequestration has "considerable
potential" to help reduce greenhouse gases, and a lengthy study at Weyburn
by the International Energy Agency found virtually no leakage. The British
Columbia government this month announced that all its coal-fired electric
plants will be required to utilize carbon sequestration to eliminate
greenhouse gas emissions."

It sure makes more sense to cap the CO2 at the source, rather than way
downstream. Trying to modify 100 years of consumer behavior via fiat would
have a minimal impact, at best, on the problem.
