The Controversy of Wind Turbines and Alternative Energy
There is a lot of controversy as to the effectiveness and the sustainability of alternative energy sources such as wind turbines. Unfortunately, the sources of information on the subject are usually biased. Finding an honest discussion can be difficult.
Here’s an an excerpt from an interesting article on the subject of wind turbines.
Stevens has closely studied the nature of social friction in Ontario’s electricity sector, which is also the subject of his Master’s thesis in environmental studies. Some people “don’t like change,” he says. “They’re stuck in an older paradigm.”
Stevens has the right attitude. If we can discuss the pros and the cons of wind turbines (along with other environmental solutions) we can move towards more effective solutions that cause less problems.

Sustainability - One Person Making A Real Difference
Here’s a fantastic article about a young man who’s taking responsibility about the environment and teaching others to do the same. He has created the Sustainable Build and Design Club club at Brigham Young University. I particularly like the fact that he is focusing on sustainability. His comments that we all make choices that make a difference in the article here also rings true.
