We should be outraged over the billions of tax dollars of energy subsidies that Congress doles out to mature polluting industries, not over the modest support it gives to renewable power.

Audubon Society supports Nantucket Sound wind farm Tuesday, June 29, 2010
On the same day the federal government was sued for its opinion that the proposed Nantucket Sound wind farm will not hurt endangered species, New England's largest conservation organization released its most emphatic statement to date backing the project.
Massachusetts Audubon Society, which has long voiced conditional support for Cape Wind's plan to build 130 wind turbines in the Sound, announced Friday that the government and the project's developer have met a call the society issued in 2006 for more environmental data before the project is built.
