Wind Is Not Power at All (Part II – Power Density) — MasterResource
Note that all renewable energy sources are ten to over a thousand times less effective than those serving our needs today, with wind providing one of the poorest performances of the renewable sources shown, outside of wood. Areas required for renewables are large because of the dispersed, and often remote, nature of their energy supply.
Something's Rotten in Boston - Minnesotans For Global Warming
This same supposedly "Local" report was also done in Maryland by Environment Maryland. I found the same thing in NewJersey, Iowa, Pennsylvania (of course), and Virginia. I don't know how long the list goes on.

The other thing I noticed is all the websites have the same logo, so I did a whois and found out that all these sites are registered by the same group Fund for Public Interest based in Boston Massachusetts and by the same person Marcia Eldridge.

It turns out that all these websites are really an offshoot of EnvironmentAmerica.org

Now there is nothing wrong with this, anybody can put up any website they want. Heck I have a website called "Minnesotans For Global Warming". The only difference is I'm actually from Minnesota. I think its a little disingenuous to make all these reports seem like they are generated by the individual states, when actually its the same report with a different Cover and Acknowledgments page for each one.

Plus, this is supposed to seem like some scientific organization, but when you dig a little deeper you find links to the Sierra Club, Green Peace, and even MoveOn.org. I think what this is, is a last ditch effort by the environmentalcases to push Cap and Trade through before the November elections.
American Thinker: Dim-Bulb Dems Doom Edison's Baby
General Electric jumped on board the CFL bandwagon -- and threw its workers off it without a ticket to get back on. American unions and government rules just did not make it feasible (i.e., profitable) to manufacture CFLs in America. Now most are made by Chinese companies, to which we are sending our green dollars in more ways than one.
