We, the undersigned, oppose the building of 31 wind turbines at Allt Duine in the Monadhliath Mountains on the edge of Cairngorms National Park for the following reasons. To: - preserve the character of the Highlands for future generations because the wind farm stands to damage and alter the character and unique qualities of the area. - defend the Monadhliath Mountains and Cairngorms National Park from being scarred by turbines.

		<description><![CDATA[Dear all, The US Fish and Wildlife Service is asking the public to send in their comments regarding its revised draft Land-based Wind Energy Guidelines. The deadline for sending your comments is August 4, 2011. This concerns people from anywhere in the world, as these guidelines may inspire other countries and be used as justification for killing protected species. Please submit comments via e-mail to windenergy@fws.gov before August 4th. The Revised Draft Guidelines may be downloaded here: http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/docs/WEG_July_12_%202011.pdf More information .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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 .&#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[[Note:&#160; Although Wind Watch finds the premise to be largely unsubstantiated that wind power has any benefit beyond tax avoidance for its investors, the need to protect birds and their environments remains crucial.] Dear U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Wind power can be an important energy source for the United States, but it is just as important that it meet high standards to protect birds and other wildlife. Wind farms kill birds &#8212; including eagles, songbirds, and endangered species &#8212; .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The documentary They&#8217;re Not Green takes the viewer from the wind industry in Palm Springs, California, where it all began, to the larger national canvas where it has evolved into the most highly subsidized, and one of the least productive forms of energy in the U.S. today. This thoroughly researched documentary examines the environmental effects of wind power, including its limited impact upon reducing CO2 emissions, its potentially negative health implications &#8220;Wind Turbine Syndrome&#8221;, the killing of thousands of birds .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>
