    WSJ Today: Renewable Energy, Meet the New Newbys.  A Vermont resident in response to a developer's proposed wind turbines: "There should be a place for these - someplace that isn't going to impact families quite so much." 

    The article states that Paris based International Energy Agency cited "not in my backyard" as among the top 5 threats to growth of renewable energy world wide.

    Another quote from the Gov. of Wyoming (big wind state) - "Generally in this state, support economic development" ... but ... "when all of a sudden it ends up in our backyard, our view changes a lot."

    So which is it folks?  Do you want to save the planet ... but only if it does not impact your view of the clean smog free sunset?!?
