Wind power not green yet
Using wind to generate electricity sounds like a good idea until you have to deal with realities such as rules prohibiting putting the wind turbines on the tops of mountains and bird fatalities. In California, 1,400 wind turbine permits were renewed but an environmental group plans to appeal the decision, according the Contra Costa Times.
Highlight: "Mike Boyd of Californians for Renewable Energy said he fears the sea of turbines along Interstate 580 will give wind power "a black eye nationwide" unless bird fatalities can be reduced."

Smokey Mountain Blog
Fletch's Smoky Mountain Journal is always good for a few minutes of diversion with his beautiful photographs. I always think of an old Barefoot Jerry song "Smokies" when I'm on that site. I see a few members of Barefoot Jerry and Area Code 615 are still making music.

PDF to HTML
An Adobe site that will slowly convert PDFs into html. I'm not a fan of PDFs, but this link may be helpful some time.
