If they think wind power is the answer, they need sectioning. I realise that there is a lot of hype in the wind turbine business, but to suggest that 3 turbines can replace a four-tower power plant is dishonest at best, even accounting for "poetic license". 1000 wind turbines working at full capacity are needed to produce the equivalent power of just 1 modern nuclear power plant. When there is little or no wind, which is most of the time, turbines are useless. They work at full capacity less than 5% of the time. In fact they drain electricity from the grid in long periods of no wind as they have to keep turning or the blades are prone to deforming. When we realise that nuclear power is the only option, these money wasting wind turbine monstrosities need to be consigned to the scrap heap.

America must be so grateful to have Donna Stern looking out for the interests of the opressed. So must the Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, Integration & Immigrant Rights And Fight for Equality By Any Means Necessary bunch of utter morons.

Hugely biased award. Llosa's win in 2010 ended a run of 14 European winners in 15 years. 2011 reverted to type with a win for a Swedish poet. The panel had no less than 5 Swedish poets on it and others were Swedish critics specialising in poetry, so no conflict of interest there then. Sweden now has 8 wins which is more than the whole of South America and more than Asia and Africa combined.
