Tenet's 'soft' image does not mollify all

Article Abstract:

Tenet Healthcare Corp. of Santa Barbara, CA, is the second-largest for-profit hospital chain in the US expected to have a total of 128 hospitals through an acquisition of Allegheny health system. The firm faces concerns over its for-profit structure, with critics saying that profits are incompatible with health care. Tenet has had to face the criticism and pay millions of dollars as settlement for charges of fraudulent billings. However, the hospital chain has had successes in several healthcare facilities and is known to make a hospital more efficient and profitable.

Electricity producers are catching the wind

Article Abstract:

Global demand for wind-power has doubled since 1994 and is predicted to increase six times by the year 2010. Improved technology has enhanced the efficiency and reduced the costs of wind turbines, thus making wind power the most prudent among emerging renewable energy technologies. Several industry experts anticipate the demand for wind power to surge dramatically due to the US government's commitment to trim down greenhouse gasses and to eliminate electric generation monopolies, which will give consumers freedom to select their supplier.
