		<description><![CDATA[Book to be released September 12, 2011 Ontario’s government has looked to “renewable” sources of energy such as wind and solar to create jobs in the wake of the failure of the auto sector. But at what price? Wind power generation is now being seen around the world as an expensive boondoggle, in which money is spent by the billions to create an unreliable, inefficient and expensive source of power. What is the situation in Ontario? Why didn’t the lessons .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

It was their dream farmhouse in rural Dekalb County, Illinois, until the wind turbines moved in next door. Today the Hulthen family lives surrounded by thirteen 40-story turbines within one mile of their house, the two closest a mere 1400 feet away. When the realities of living with their new neighbors became clear, they launched their blog, Our Life with Dekalb Turbines, to record and share .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Words Matter [Public comment is still open: until May 19, 2011] The US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) is apparently moving toward more-effective implementation of federal laws that will potentially reduce the negative environmental impacts of wind energy development in the Appalachian highlands. The FWS, however, is facing intense industry pressure to back down, and public support and input are needed now. Public comments and recommendations will be accepted until May 19, 2011 on two FWS guidance documents that will .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The international wind industry will face one of its biggest challenges beginning on February 1, 2011. Canada will be at the centre of a legal battle of global proportions. In response to a recent approval of an industrial wind development, an appeal has been submitted to a Tribunal (ERT). The appeal is based chiefly on the issue of serious harm to human health from noise and low-frequency sound. The appeal raises other issues such as the government’s apparently admitted inability .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Currently, Congress is working on a bipartisan effort to extend tax breaks for American families and businesses. The Section 1603 Treasury Grant Program provides wind and other renewable energy projects with a cash grant instead of the 30% federal investment tax credit. The Section 1603 tax credit program is set to expire this December, and the wind industry is clamoring for its extension. We need you to reach out and urge Congress to reject the costly wind industry agenda that .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>
