			<description><![CDATA[As Robert G says, the Greenies don't want us to have coal, diesel, nuclear power and even wind is getting a bad rap. I guess the real message of the Enviro-police is "Freeze in the Dark."]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[So let me get this straight, we don't want dams anymore, we don't want coal or diesel plants, nuclear power is out of the question, and now even wind power is not good enough. I think Bill Cosby said it best, "I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.” Keep pushing forward Mr. Crowley.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This article is interesting and well-written in that is illustrates opposite sides of an important issue while exposing some significant warts of this transplanted Northeasterner trying to solve the problems of the west. Interesting that this fella has decided he needs to "unite" a state he does not even live in. Even so, it is even more interesting that there is no exploration or an explanation of a middle ground by the writer or more importantly the company sponsor of the wind projects when given this platform. Begs the question, whose responsibility is it to reach to middle ground first - developer or environmental community in this case, or better yet, how should a solution be crafted that works for all? I think we need to ask ourselves, and more so, the interested parties closer to the issue than the readers, why is this an issue that is being played out in the press? Whose gonna show their leadership here rather than resortin' to a war of words and poetic images? Honestly, what's to be gained by such an article other than selling more issues of Oregon Business Magazine to stimulate the economy, which isn’t so bad in these tryin’ times? The commenters above make some good points on both the clean energy progress and the preservation / conservation sides of the equation. But that is where the real conversation needs to take place and the solution needs to come from in order to make the equation work, create jobs and conserve our heritage for future generations. It is not about "my" agenda or "your" agenda, it is about "our" agenda. One suggestion would be for the folks involved in this issue to get to know one another by putting down their swords, drinkin’ a quiet six-pack of beer on a porch somewhere as a starting point or next step, stop the self-aggrandizi n’ and start compromisin’, other wise....]]></description>

			<title>Is the Picture Worth Distroying?</title>
			<link>http://www.oregonbusiness.com/articles/91-october-2010/4181-wind-energy-eastern-oregon-chris-crowley?device=xhtml#comment-883</link>
			<description><![CDATA[I appreciated your article on the current conflict happening in eastern Oregon regarding our need for 'green' energy, jobs, and the concern these new industrial sites will have on the wildlife & human enviorment. In finding an answer that has some measure of balance, I hope that we are fully weighing the consequences of destroying our heritage viewscapes. In Harney County, the magnificant Steens Mountain and desert; In Union County daytime distruction of a prestine skyline near Union, and the nightime light pollution that turns a starry night into a viewscape of an alien red light district. Is the very picture which we have held dear for over 150 years, and held sacred by the First Nations for over 10,000 years, worth distroying for short-term jobs and revenues leaving Oregon to foreign wind energy investors? As a citizen of eastern Oregon I hope we have more vision, and look for alternatives that don't change are character...our heritage.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Once again after reading your article...goody , goody, people & govt agencies are once again stopping high technology energy business and destroying the future employment for transformation from the old industrial economy to renewable energy technology that is needed to return this USA into the leading clean energy country. Which of course would not only put USA in lead in this field, but create the necessary high tech jobs and revenue streams to pay-off future debt under the present crisis status. Question is what is the percentage of the population represents clean energy progress to create renewable energy jobs, compared to the right & left wing evironmentalist walk within this area? Majority Rule: L Gisner]]></description>
