wind

Hi all,

It's been a while--a couple busy months for me. I'm going to try to get back in the habit of posting stuff at least somewhat regularly now. I'll start by finishing up the climate change series I was working on before.

In part 1 and 2, I discussed the threats posed to humanity by global warming, and some policy tools being implemented to stop it. In this part, which I think is the coolest, and most encouraging, part, I'll discuss technologies that will enable us to pollute less while maintaining our energy-intensive lifestyles.

The NC Senate Committee on Agriculture, Environment, and Natural Resources is set to vote on revised version of Senate Bill 1068, Permitting Wind Energy Facilities in NC, on Tuesday July 7th that will ban all wind energy projects in the NC mountains, driving away jobs, economic benefits, and clean electricity from the region.
