A Blog-View of Wind Energy: Pros & Cons From An Insider
by John Laumer, Philadelphia on 05.13.06
It's to be expected that alternative energy gets extra media scrutiny from now on. Most alternative energy coverage in the print media is of the "he said, she said" variety, passing along the usual myths about wind power, for example. Lately the focus has been on items with obvious political import, such as ethanol fuel (farm state voters) or drilling for oil in formerly off-limit places (tipping sacred cows). Blogs being ascendant challengers to the 'tried and untrue' journalism practices, we were pleased to see a such a balanced and detailed "diary" on the subject of wind power as this one from Daily Kos. The pictures and graphics are excellent and the comments...well you decide. via: DailyKos
