I know that some people say that wind power generation is not terribly effective but I think the turbines look awesome! We just had some put on the hills above my home town and I never get tired of seeing them.

Getting back to backbreaking work just to minimize our toxic wastes seems more practical than saving ourselves from a mile walk and a lifetime of misery. A well written article to enlighten us of our present ordeal.

An interesting read Mr Ghaz. This is the only way to go and I hope soon all new builds will come with solar panels and I know lots of people complain about the wind turbines being near their homes but I actually thing they are quite beautiful in their own relaxing way.
