We live in rural Iowa where Mid American Energy is trying to develop a large area of our crop lands into industrial wind generating facilities. The citizens of Palo Alto County here in Iowa have an active lawsuit against Mid American Energy and a lawsuit against the County Board of Supervisors.

What enviro group is paying off the BDN for publishing such unbelievable drivel?

The fine print at the bottom of the page :
" If the weighted average of Maine-located RECs is greater than $6.50/REC, then REC supply may be procured from NEPOOL-registered resources outside of Maine. If the weighted average price of program-eligible, NEPOOL-located RECs is…

PUTIN FUNDS AMERICA’S ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT

In particular, Russia’s subsidizing of U.S. environmental groups, specifically those who oppose development of U.S. energy resources by blocking fracking and…
