"Mayor Bloomberg proposes putting windmills on bridges and rooftops to help power NYC" ..

Read the full AP story here or see a few higlighted quotes below. It sounds as if Mr. Bloomberg is the think globally act locally type as opposed to many in Garrett/Allegany County who would prefer to think locally and act globally (i.e. push your problem off on someone else as the folks in today's Cumberland Times-News article would suggest).

"In New York, we don't think of alternative power as something that we just import from other parts of the nation," he said.


Smaller eggbeater-like models could be used on rooftops. "You can make them so small that people think they are part of the design," Rohit Aggarwala, director of the city's Office of Long-Term Planning and Sustainability, told The New York Times.

This is kind of nitpciky point, but I see it happen more and mor frequently. With respect to the Cumberland Times "News" article, I noted the fact that the writer felt the need to mention that one of the activists was a Vietnam veteran. What does that have to do with this issue? I'm a veteran, but I don't feel that makes me any more or less qualified to comment on, well any issue other than what it was like being in the Armed Forces. You just get the feeling that the writer has his/her own agenda and is trying to pump up the credentials of this guy.
