I am all for increased opportunities, but the arithmetic does need to mesh.

That’s fantastic!

GreenChange.org is telling President Obama and Congress to introduce a moratorium on new coal and nuclear plants. Future generations will thank us for moving from dirty, dangerous fuels to safe, green energy. Find out more at http://tinyurl.com/alp453

A. Siegel has an excellent post pulling together these many threads here as well: “The Jobs are Blowing in the Wind” (also up at WattHead – Energy News and Commentary)

I often say that we need to take all industries with a grain of salt. There is a lot of potential for exploitation of workers, land and people with big energy of any kind, including wind. We need to be vigilant and take control of the power in our communities.
