Pflugerville seems interested in going intensely green and promoting green energy. The rationale for doing this is presumably based in part upon concern over catastrophic anthropogenic global warming (cagw). Many, however, are skeptical about the validity of cagw theory, but there is little in the mainstream media about the case presented by the skeptic side. Much of the missing news coverage is currently being provided by blogs. Some of these are Bishop Hill, Climate Audit, Climate Depot, The Hockey Schtick, JoNova, NoFrackingConsensus, NoTricksZone, Tallbloke's Talkshop, and Watts Up With That? Titles of some articles of possible interest posted in climate-related blogs are being listed near the bottom of this page on a daily basis that began on May 7.
“EU violates Aarhus Convention in ‘20% renewable energy by 2020’ program” is the title of a May 19, 2012, blog entry in Watts Up With That?
Here it was reported that the Compliance Committee of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) was critical of the way in which the EU had determined its renewable energy policy.
It was noted that the committee’s draft findings and recommendations were made available to the European Platform against Windfarms (EPAW).
The EPAW website provides considerable information about a variety of windfarm issues. Included is a video of a media conference on April 25, 2012, at which Donald Trump expressed his objection to the future placement of a windfarm next to a golf course opening in July that was built in Scotland under his direction. He maintained that he was led to believe that the windfarm would not be built.
