Talking about wind, this blog site sports an impressive roll call of esteemed expert contributors including William Connolley, Samuel Hazen, James Hrynyshyn, Solomon Hsiang, Erin Johnson, Sheril Kirshenbaum, Scott Mackenzie and Joseph Romm.
I wonder if any of these people of integrity and high repute are feeling queasy about being linked to a blog sponsored by the oil giant Shell, which has been censored by advertising regulators in the UK and the Netherlands for blatant acts of greenwashing; Shell has been found guilty on three counts thus far.

NIGERIAS ECONOMIC GREATNESS: POSSIBILITIES AND OPPORTUNITY IN WASTE!
One local chief explained that he received from Shell oil 150 Naira ($1.15) for each acre of land used by the company. I was astonished when he went on to say, 150 Naira, once every four years. With oil prices at historic highs, how could the compensation to communities long suffering the health impacts of oil spills and gas flares be such a pittance?
