Noble IPO

Here is a chance for even the NIMBY activists to join into the green revolution. Apparently NOBLE is going to spin off from J.P. Morgan with a public offering. It would be a chance to support the environment and to possibly profit as the local communities have with this clean alternative energy source.

More local benefits from the wind energy

Amazing isn't it? All the early hype about towns not getting any tax benefit seems to have evaporated as the benefits keep pouring in. Here is another recent article about school budgets increasing and taxes decreasing. Wonderful story isn't it?

Who's behind it?

Powerful corporate and financial interests

When you understand that wind energy does not work on a "utility-scale", the next questions are "Why are they doing it?" and ultimately "Who is behind it?"

Simply put, it's a corporate tax-avoidance scam, put in place by investment banking lobbyists, energy industry lobbyists, and the late Ken Lay and his Enron Wind subsidiary. Through manipulation in Congress and state legislatures, they have created a guaranteed high-return investment program, heavily subsidized by taxpayers and utility ratepayers, to benefit themselves at the expense of the public. They then market this scheme to the victimized public and gullible politicians as an environmentally-friendly "renewable energy" program, and have the "big" environmental groups that they support and sustain join in a chorus of approval.

Impact of Article X siting on NYS Local Governments in Rural Counties - Senator George H. Winner, Jr

January 31, 2008

Dear Local Government Official:

As you may know, two bills have been introduced in the state Legislature that would re-authorize Article X of the Public Service Law which is designed to streamline the siting review and approval process for major electric generating facilities. (A brief summary of the proposed provisions is shown on Page 2). Wind farm projects that meet certain thresholds established for power plants are included in these proposals, with the process governed by a statewide siting board.

Seems like a lot of positive progress lately in Franklin county with the approval of two additional wind parks. Is Anne going to boycott this county too?

WIND FARMS: Invertebrates; arthropods; fungi, soils and peat

A Scottish mycologist I've called on the UK Government to declare a moratorium on all land-based wind farm development until a newly identified, potentially devastating threat turbines pose to the environment has been properly examined - letter to the Prime Minister and supporting information below. This action has been reported in the UK media and the issue is attracting growing interest amongst academics, anti-wind farm lobby groups and others in the UK
