A bunch of hot air?


In response to your article on wind energy, note that the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI, or ReGGIe) is a regional initiative by states in the Northeastern United States region to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The RGGI is designing a cap and trade program for emissions from power plants.  (RGGI RGGI Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (9 US Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states) ) is refining refining, any of various processes for separating impurities from crude or semifinished materials. It includes the finer processes of metallurgy, the fractional distillation of petroleum into its commercial products, and the purifying of cane, beet, and maple sugar  a method that will measure the true levels of carbon dioxide carbon dioxide, chemical compound, CO2, a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that is about one and one-half times as dense as air under ordinary conditions of temperature and pressure.  in the atmosphere, which may finally bring an end to the wind industry's rhetoric about how it cleans up the environment and reduces our dependence on foreign oil. RGGI's data will soon reveal that the existence of wind turbines makes little difference. Do you realize that as wind development increases, so will a consequent need for conventional power stations, negating any benefits? You must look beyond the American Wind Energy Association's propaganda.
