Holy Samsung. The green energy dream is not just waking up, it’s moving in. Who knew it would have a brand name and be an immigrant from Korea? Has the provincial government sold our renewable soul to some foreign demon?

New England Plays Catch-Up in the Green Energy Racenew
New England may be used to being the birthplace of revolutions, but in the case of wind power, that ship has sailed. States out West are far outproducing us, and will likely continue to. That said, we still could be a player in the nascent wind industry; we've just got some catching up to do.

Why Michigan's 'Green Energy' Bills are a Shamnew
The state's elected leaders have already quietly rammed a package of bills through the House that are deceptively referred to as the "green energy bills."
