BBC (8/10)       Economy, Energy & Trends Opinion: Wind is a safe, highly beneficial energy source for S.D. county Hughes County, S.D., can reap the benefits of wind development without having to compromise on safety, the environment or aesthetics, contrary to an editorial in the Capital Journal, write Daniel and Lana Carroll. They argue that wind farms must meet a variety of criteria addressing these issues, and that done right, the industry creates thousands of jobs and makes major contributions to the local economy.

He argues that on one hand, utilities will have access to low-carbon, cost-competitive electricity from renewables, but, on the other, firms that have spent a lot on fossil fuel-burning plants stand to lose on their investments.
