The Daily Mail has published something positive about wind power after years and years of editorial bias against renewable energy and the science behind climate change, I wonder if there has been a change at the helm or something?

Plus, over in the USA a powerful but little known oil company Koch Industries has stopped ploughing money into climate contrarian groups. Richard Muller's volte face from denier to an accepter of the science must have provided a paradigm shift, as a result the Koch brothers have stopped funding the Heartland Institute etc.

I'm hopeful that the USA can now have an honest debate about climage change with all its citizens as a result of this change.

If the Koch brothers have stopped doing that then it's probably just so they can spend even more money trying to get that (rhymes with "banker") Romney elected.

It's a pretty dumb article by the Mail, but, as Rheghead says, it's an important one nonetheless.
