| Quote: | Currently, Native American tribes aren't eligible for the federal
production tax credit available to non-tribal project owners under law.
Without this 2 cents per kWh tax credit, most wind farms just can't get
built. The result, and it has already started, is that most commercial
scale wind development on tribal reservations won't be native-owned. The
Great Plains tribes have excellent wind resources on their reservations,
and they have a historic opportunity to lift themselves out of poverty
with the wind. Because of the federal tax code, the opportunity remains
just out of their reach.
You can help change that! Two bills, S.2520 and the H.R. 1954
propose changing the tax code to allow tribes to benefit from the tax
credit. Please encourage your representative to push these bills forward
and help change the course of history! |
can I post this on my Pauley Perrette -myspace? Most of my friends there are americans...
I watched the news today and saw that Canada started seal hunting season again and I was disgusted. So this is my answer to that (I know it is offensive but also so true):

Liadan, I agree with what you said about seal hunting, it's truly awful.

Here in Australia we are slowly replacing all of our buses and taxis with hydrogen powered vehicles. I think it's a great idea. Do you guys have anything similiar in Europe/the US? I really want to trade my car in for a hybrid too but they're pretty expensive over here.

yep, we have that, too. It's expensive, but worth the money. A lot of buses are hydrogen powered by now, but no taxis yet. They still run with gas.
