Interesting. The Chippewa, or Anishnabe tribe in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan is doing studies on feasibility and siting for wind power plants on reservation land owned by the tribe. Their stated goals are to increase self-reliance for energy, increase tribal employment, and increase renewable energy sources available in the region as an example of their cultural teachings about respecting the Earth. I wish them great success! You can read about their efforts at:
The DOE Tribal Energy information page These people are helping lead the way to saving us all, and I applaud them for working to help technology operate in harmony with nature. I strongly believe we can achieve that goal without sacrificing the good things technology does for us - when we consider nature and work in concert with her in our plans.
