		<description><![CDATA[Go to http://deficitreduction.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/contact to tell the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction to end federal subsidies to industrial wind, which totaled $5 billion in 2010. Large-scale wind has been shown to cause significant harm to wildlife, people, and the environment. And because of its intermittency and high variability, it does little or nothing to reduce carbon or other emissions. Here is a list of federal programs that subsidize large-scale wind energy: Modified accelerated cost-recovery system and bonus depreciation (5-year depreciation .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

A nice bunch of activists, hippies and local people are camping in the forest in order to prevent the most silent area in Denmark from being cut down and shaped as an industrial test center for windmills. Facts: Østerild Klitplantage is a peace forest with several rare and threatened species and nobody knows .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>
