Wind Power: What We Can Learn from Denmark

Just as we enjoy a day of turkey and cheap prices at the pump OPEC is planning another huge cut in production to raise prices.

This is probably going to be one of the bleakest holiday seasons most of us have seen in our lifetimes. Not enough credit is being given to the high gas prices this past year and it's serious damage on our economy and society. That one factor alone has caused serious stress in both individuals and businesses. A record number of homes and jobs have been lost as a direct result. And, while we are doing the happy dance around the lower prices at the pumps OPEC is announcing cuts to manipulate the prices upward again. We must get on with becoming energy independent.We can't take another year like this past. Many areas of this country are well suited to generate electricity by wind. Why not use some of the billions in bailouts and stimulus handouts to get some of these things set up and running?

FPL Group Cuts Wind Power Plans: Sign of a Larger Trend?

This past year the exorbitant cost of fuel has seriously damaged our economy.From filling up the car to paying more for every consumer product whose cost of production and shipping was passed on to us there was little left over.We spend less because we have less, this results in even more job losses. OPEC has us over a barrel literally.WE reduce our use cut production by 1.5 million barrels a day & will cut more they say. .Our country needs to invest in reducing our dependence on foreign oil. The 168 Billion they paid out in the last stimulus pkg that did nothing at all for our economy would have gone a long way toward getting us started on the road to energy impendence. Utilizing renewable energy sources would not only provide clean low cost fuel it would create an estimated 1million plus jobs. I just read Jeff Wilson’s new book The Manhattan Project of 2009. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in seeing America become more energy independent.
