Old soldiers win battle in fiscal cliff cluster fuck

 The Production Tax Credit for new wind energy projects found it's way into the law passed in Washington on New Years Day.  A 1 year extension, not a policy, but at least a positive.  This gives the renewable non polluting energy source a tiny fraction of the billions of welfare oil, coal and gas get.
A number of environmental news sites are offering the veterans group Operation Free the trophy for this feat.  They lobbied hard for this, others did too, but somehow they are garnering lots of praise.  If you are a vet, and care about the environment, stopping pollution, and halting wars over energy sources, visit and join your buddies at http://www.operationfree.net/

Wind, it's not controlled by a religious zealots, dictators, pirates, cartels, and we don't send your kids off to die for it.

Operation Free also supports solar energy, every 14 seconds enough light falls on the US to power it for the day.
