Hey Beth,

I haven’t heard that. I’ll look it up for you and find out what I can! Thanks for bringing it to our attention!

This kind of thing is a no-brainer. Until you see folks like the ones on the eastern US (thinking Martha's Vineyard area) who have been complaining and trying to stop a similar development because it "spoils their view". A view no one else may see anyway, except for the very wealthy. And obviously selfish. Don't like it? Don't look out the window! Personally, I kind of like watching windmills... Wind, hydro power from wave motion, geothermal energy - it's all "free" for the taking. Brett Legree’s last blog post..summer’s end.

That's great news. I know you're really busy, Steph, but if you could find something out for me I'd love it. A while ago I read about Germany trying to pass some law about requiring automakers to recycle cars. Have you heard anything about that? I think it's a great idea and wish we could do it in the US.
