We had some really great threads last year, with the following four nominated for the Thread of the Year award in this January's Environment Site Awards ceremony.

I think they're great and give a real sense of what the forum is capable of, so if you're looking for a reason to join, check these out.

Default 612 Year Waiting List for New Wind Projects
If you want to build a wind farm in Minnesota right now, you're in for a nasty surprise. A 612 year nasty surprise in fact.

Lets hope they can clear the backlog as soon as possible. It's great to see there is such huge interest in wind energy though.
