Wind Power and Dead Eagles
« on: August 16, 2011, 08:31:47 PM »
Because I can't seem to leave alone how "uncool" businesses like Exxon always get the finger pointing, and "cool" businesses like wind power get the, "look the other way" treatment, I must post this story.

The part that is of interest to me is how Exxon, mainstream power companies, and some guy who raises fish all got hit with fines and jail, and how US Fish and Wildlife is turning a blind eye to Eagle deaths caused by wind turbines.

Nancy Pelosi. Say no more.

She reminds me more and more of "Mother" from Mom's Friendly Robot Company on Futarama.

I wonder if Pelosi lost all of her money, since that project is dead.
