Eleven rural Colorado counties are threatening to secede and have put a 51st state initiative on their November 5 ballots, claiming that the government has no respect for their rural lifestyles.

“It really started with the last legislative session being the straw that broke the camel’s back between the rural and urban divide,” 51st State Initiative leader Jeffrey Hare told ABCNews.com.

“The two things that stood out were the gun control legislation and the alternative energy mandate that was forced upon the rural parts of the state,” he said.

Hare, 44, is the father of three daughters and works in software security. He lives in Greeley, Colo., and said he got involved with the initiative in an effort to give his daughters a better future.

He believes that rural communities have “lost their voices” to urban growth.

“It stems back to years and years…

The owner of a northwest Vermont wind project says the operator of the New England electric grid ordered the turbines off line Sunday night despite strong winds blowing across the Green Mountains.

David Blittersdorf of Georgia Mountain Community Wind is frustrated with ISO New England, which runs the regional transmission grid.

Blittersdorf said ISO told the Georgia project to shutdown for about six hours, even though the wind was blowing and the four turbines were producing at their maximum capacity of about 10 megawatts.

Blittersdorf wants ISO to reimburse his company for the lost revenue. He said he’ll send the organization a bill for $5,490. ”We’re going to force the issue by ending out an invoice asking ISO to pay us,” he said. “…I’m not going to roll on these things anymore.”  Read full article,here….

After three years of protest, a group of Smithville neighbours are calling on Premier Kathleen Wynne in a last-ditch effort to stop wind turbines from taking over their rural community.

The first of five wind turbines slotted for a West Lincoln wind farm went up last Thursday — and had drivers rubbernecking on Twenty Road to take in the 140-metre structure.

Smithville resident Wendy Veldman doesn’t have to look far. The turbine sits just 550 metres (half a kilometre) from her house — the minimum setback distance in Ontario.

As a member of West Lincoln Wind Action Group, she has been protesting the turbine project for three years — and has a long list of outstanding health, safety, economic and environmental concerns.

“If these five go up, whatever, but I don’t want any more going up. I have resolved myself that…

(October 7, 2013) In Ontario it’s a well-known fact that the Green Energy and Green Economy Act (GEA) was developed because a small group of people convinced a past Energy Minister, George Smitherman, it was needed. That group, the Green Energy Act Alliance (GEAA), even claim they helped him write the Act!

The bad news for the warming alarmist movement continues apace, as hot on the heels of the IPCC AR5 report crashing and burning on the indifference of politicians across the planet come 4 more bad news stories for those that have an irrational fear of CO2 and Western Industrialized society.

One of the cornerstones of the Climate Scam is the Green Climate Fund (GCF), the UN wealth redistribution scheme to give away US $100 billion annually to developing countries to mitigate climate change brought about by the evil West developing industrialized society.

In a letter to the board members of the GCF, 133 NGOs from developing countries called for the adoption of a robust environmental and social framework through which the GFC could operate.

They wrote: “developed countries are obligated to provide the necessary finance to enable affected peoples to deal with climate impacts, build resilience, and shift to more…
