You may want to check out the latest bright idea in anti-clean energy legislation in the U.S. Congress: Subtitle D of H.R. 2337. This legislation would make it a crime, punishable by a $50,000 fine or a year in jail, to build a new wind power plant without a certificate from the federal government. More background information, including our written testimony on the bill (we were not asked to testify on it in person) and a list of state wind siting regulations already in place, <a href="http://www.awea.org/newsroom/releases/Anti_Wind_Provision_in_Rahall_Bill_052307.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.
