From Tuesday's Contrary Investor "In 48 out of 50 states, jobs are contracting in high wage industries and expanding in low wage sectors. As an average, industries that are gaining jobs relative to industries that are losing jobs pay 21% less annually. ...Given the importance of the issue of labor, we're going to continue briefly reviewing this data with each monthly report. It will not be enough to simply add bodies to the payroll employment stats ahead. It's wage gains that are equally, if not more important to the current economy."

That article is full of errors, and is a bad hatchet job. Studies in Europe, which is far ahead of the U.S. in wind power because they have forward looking leadership, show that there is a large decrease in CO2 emissions and pollution. The more windmills the better, and there is no problem with power consistency until wind makes up more than 20% of electricity production. We are far from that. He is using bird kill data from older windmills that turned much faster than new designs that turn about 25 r.p.m. BTW, do you think that there are any bird deaths due to Cheney's beloved coal plants? You bet, and human deaths too. Pure garbage paid for by the fossil fuel industry no doubt. Del
