How wind turbines generate huge profits for landowners - MoneyWeek

Alice Thompson, writing in the Times a few weeks ago, pointed to one UK landowner making “nearly £2m” a year, and another who is “expected to make £1.5m a year from his development”.

Shocked? You should be. After all you are paying for all this. The subsidies that facilitate this huge transfer of wealth are paid via a charge on your utilities bill.

My Comment On “The Top American Science Questions: 2012″ On “Climate Change” | Climate Science: Roger Pielke Sr.

In his answer, President Obama perpetuates the erroneously narrow view advocated by the Democratic Party. In contrast, Mitt Romney has moved from the different, but still mistaken perspective of climate science by the Republican Party to one that is in agreement with my viewpoint on our understanding of the climate system and the way to move forward to deal with climate issues. Using my terminology above, Mitt Romney has the Real World View of the climate issue.

If Mitt Romney’s perspective on other issues is as well-thought out as his views on climate, he is clearly the more qualified of the two candidates to be President.
