Has the plug been pulled on TerraWinds?
TerraWinds was to be Canada's biggest wind farm, a showcase wind-energy project for the government of Jean Charest and for the Rivière-du-Loup region. The $350 million venture was to be an growth engine that would provide jobs and economic spinoffs.
...
As to whether TerraWinds is dead or alive, Lagacé, like many others associated with the project, can’t say. A SkyPower executive has told Lagacé – and a local reporter – that the project is being abandoned because it is not financially viable and its wind turbines, said to be in pieces and in area storage facilities, have been offered for sale to other developers.
Trademark UN idiocy: Trace amounts of CO2 may lower worldwide food production by 25%?!
Nairobi - The United Nations Tuesday warned that the global food crisis could be intensified dramatically by climate change as environment ministers from across the world gathered in the Kenyan capital Nairobi.

A report presented to over 100 environment minsters at a meeting of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) said that by 2050 there could be 25 per cent less food produced worldwide.
