		<description><![CDATA[La energía eólica emerge como una alternativa a la crisis ambiental global por su potencial reducción de gases de efecto invernadero. En el caso de México, la construcción de parques eólicos terrestres a gran escala en el Istmo de Tehuantepec, uno de los sitios con mayor potencial eólico en el mundo, promete impulsar el desarrollo sustenable. Sin embargo, el desarrollo de parques eólicos no constituye una estrategia viable de resolución de problemas sociales y ambientales porque ha generado un conflicto .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our new report highlights the dramatic proliferation of onshore wind turbines. In many cases these are damaging valued landscapes and intruding into some of the most tranquil areas of England. We must find a way of reconciling climate change mitigation and landscape protection &#8211; otherwise we will sacrifice the beauty and tranquillity of much-loved landscapes. Onshore wind mapping shows exponential growth in wind turbine planning applications, leaving local communities increasingly powerless in the face of speculative applications from big, well-funded .&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>
