A new analysis of wind energy supplied to the UK National Grid in recent
years has shown that wind farms produce significantly less electricity than
had been thought, and that they cause more problems for the Grid than had
been believed.
The report (28-page PDF/944 KB) was commissioned by conservation charity the

The number of Obama supporters seems inversely related to his time in office

Obama assumed office in difficult economic times. After a couple of years
of excuses -- which included "the problems were worse than we knew" and the
generic, all-purpose "it's Bush's fault" -- Obama now owns the original
problems and new ones of his own doing. An incomplete report card on his "

Gun control advocates have it all wrong. They believe the Constitution is a

grants rights to politicians and lawmakers, when it does just the opposite.
They believe scare tactics will convince us that placing burdens on gun
owners will prevent violent crimes, when all the evidence suggests otherwise
