Every sensible tool

[purpletigron]

It is my considered opinion, based upon the evidence currently available that (1) human-caused greenhouse gas emissions are going to take the global climate system over some critical thresholds within the next decade or so, and (2) the supply of light, sweet crude oil is going to be in decline, causing serious economic instability over a similar timescale.

Therefore, I believe we need to use every sensible tool to build an environmentally and economically sustainable 'Green Industrial Revolution' for job security, energy security, food security etc. One of these sensible tools is wind energy, including on-shore community-scale wind turbines. However ...

The Vestas corporation is planning to close the only factory making wind turbine blades in Britain, on the Isle of Wight.

Vestas workers have today occupied their factory, and there is now a campaign by local people and factory employees to save the plant, and the 600 jobs it supports.

They're asking for emails of support for their campaign: savevestas@gmail.com

Edit I originally thought that Vestas IoW made entire turbines.
