sWINDle billboard – call for pledges
Dear Friends Opposed to Energy from Wind: To date, there have been few clear, widespread public statements on the downsides of energy from wind. A statement via a billboard, I strongly feel, will reach the general public and incite questions. As elected officials are loathe to cross their electorate, hopefully the public will become more skeptical and influence their representatives to change their pro-wind or on-the-fence positions. The local newspapers and TV people could cover the story. I propose a . . .

Comments are Needed Now on US Fish and Wildlife Service Guidelines for Wind Energy Development
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 . . .
