Nigel Lawson, Time, May 21, 2008 They're just a symbol for politicians who want to be seen to be green. Ann West, Country Guardian, U.K. Don't get the idea that I've turned green.

Countryside Commission, U.K. Soon we "celebrate" the 20,000th wind plant, without replacing even one single small plant of conventional energy. Ferdinand Fürst zu
Hohenlohe-Bartenstein, Chairman, Bundesverband The larger the share of wind power in a particular grid, the more standby power will have to be available in that grid. World Wind Energy Association Because of the potential to kill millions of birds from global warming emissions, we're going to kill millions of birds with wind turbines. —Bob DeGroot, Md.
