  1. Walk, bike, hail a ride, share a ride, use Public Transportation, install solar panels on your roof or balcony, investment in an EV if you can or want... Just actively say NO to Big Oil. We absolutely need to phase out fossils if we still want to have a planet.

  2. #SearsIsland: The Answer to Green Energy, Or Home to #Biodiverse #Wildlife?

    "The #Wabanaki people indigenous to the area named Sears Island #Wassumkeag, or Shining Beach. The tribes used the island to hunt and fish for centuries.

    "McCarthy said, 'They've been documented archeologically to have had a presence here for at least thirty-five hundred years.... There's a bio-regional perspective that considers all the relations: the #insects, the #grasses, the #trees, the #eelgrass, the #birds, the critters that roam these woods — if you really want to speak for Sears Island, it's incumbent, not just for poets and photographers and old hippies, it's incumbent for all of us to be mindful of all that is happening here.'

    "McCarthy said he gets why the island is an attractive place for development. 'We're in a time where wind energy is important,' he said. 'We need to find green sources of power, but the narrowness of that human perspective needs to be challenged.'

    "Both McCarthy and Lawless join the group #FriendsOfSearsIsland in maintaining that #MackPoint is better situated for development.

    "Even though 600 acres of the island are protected by a conservation easement, industrial disruption to the peaceful island could lead to #environmental impacts that may not be fully realized until after development, according to McCarthy."

  3. Klar, warum es #ruineschauenberg heisst, oder? Auch wenn die früheren Bewohner offenbar einiges ambitionierter waren, was die Bebauung von Höhenzügen anging. Wir sind hier schliesslich auf dem Gebiet der Gemeinde Hofstetten, wo Nimby im Quadrat herrscht, auch wenn, wie man an der Fahne problemlos erkennt, ein flottes Lüftli weht.

  4. #Whales are dying, but it’s not because of #windfarms
    Whales are washing up along east coast of US. #OffshoreWind opponents blame future wind farms. Experts see different threat
    Theory Republicans use to try to pin wind farms for #strandings is that noise created by #windturbines could disrupt #echolocation that some whales use for navigation, causing them to strand. This distracts from very real risks shipping vessels pose to whales navigating US shorelines, experts say

  5. IN TASMANIA…
    A wind turbine on an apple orchard at Lucaston, in the Huon Valley, takes a welcome break after the wind drops.

    Many orchardists in the region and elsewhere in the island state went into cattle when apple exports to the UK went into decline when that country joined the European Common Market in the 1970s. Whole fields of apple trees were uprooted.

    Apples remain an important crop in the Huon, something you appreciate when you bite into one of the locally grown fruit. And, of course, apple farms need electrical energy, and that is where this resting wind turbine comes into the picture.
