"I read about it in the papers, and I was very surprised," Brian Caffyn said from Hong Kong, where he is now building wind-energy farms in China and the Philipines.

Maybe the Indians are right about Cape Wind . Cape Wind wants to take Nantucket Sound from everyone !

Its a good thing we'll get a chance to review the project now!

Thanksgiving Day is a reminder of the genocide of millions of their people, the theft of their lands, and the relentless assault on their culture. Participants in the National Day of Mourning honor Native ancestors and the struggles of Native peoples to survive today. It is a day of remembrance as well as a protest of the racism and oppression which Native Americans continue to experience

There is little that is cognitively more dissonant than supporting the concept of minimizing the human footprint on the earth while cheerleading for the rude intrusiveness of physically massive/energy feckless wind projects. The slap and tickle of wind propaganda flatters the gullible, exploits the well intentioned, and nurtures the craven. It is made possible because there's no penalty for lying in the energy marketplace. The country has evidently arrived at a point in its legal culture where no negative consequences seem to exist for making false or misleading claims to sell wind energy—the stuff dreams are made of. But industrial wind is a bunco scheme of enormous consequence. And people who value intellectual honesty should not quietly be fleeced by such mendacity, even from their government.

Carson,
Just because one abused it, doesn't mean that every wind logistics installation company does the same thing and wind energy is a hoax. Thats not a valid conclusion. It does lead to the question of who monitors these projects and how can they be held accountable for logistical errors on a large scale. Whether intentional or not. Wind is variable, but that should be taken into account in the site surveys of the area so that excuse is not valid. Wind power can produce enormous amounts of energy, we just have to figure out how to incorporate it into the grid at the same time as our power from coal or natural gas.

Daily Horoscope for December 19

Pisces

Are you feeling fraught? It certainly seems that way, perhaps because you've got far too much on your plate and not nearly enough time to tackle it all. Do yourself a big favor and start with whatever is most urgent, otherwise you'll waste time by dithering or getting caught up in trivial tasks. Above all, don't get into a panic because that will squander valuable time and energy.
