Cool! Just last week, the largest and most powerful wind turbine in the world kicked into gear in Denmark. The turbine is over 720 feet tall and can generate enough power to supply electricity for thousands of households.

Since 2005, nine northeast states have cut carbon pollution by 40%, thanks to the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative! Congresswoman Annie Kuster and Congresswoman Niki Tsongas want the EPA to learn from this success and cut pollution across the country. Check out their letter: http://1.usa.gov/1b2bdZN

SHARE this to support their effort to cut pollution in every state!

"NO!" only takes a second to say , but you have four weeks to get your public comment in on Keystone XL at http://bit.ly/NoKXLFinal Thanks to Oil Change International for another great image.

Keystone XL would create and add to "sacrifice zones," or areas where the environment and health of nearby humans and wildlife are sacrificed for fossil fuel addiction and corporate greed.

The article describes the sacrifice zones at the tarsands in Alberta affecting First Nations peoples, Native American lands along the pipeline route, and the African American community living near oil & tarsands refineries in Port Arthur, Texas. ‪#‎NoKXL

There is nothing unintentional about the pattern of locating dirty energy projects with significant health and environmental impacts in targeted communities that have a hard time fighting back.

Oklahoma restaurant that won’t serve ‘f*ggots’ gets Internet push as ‘best gay bar’

The owner of an Oklahoma restaurant who declared last week that he won’t serve “freaks,” “f*ggots,” the disabled, or people on welfare now finds himself the victim of an online campaign to brand his establishment the “Best Gay Club” in Oklahoma City.

Gary James of Gary’s Chicaros restaurant told KFOR last week that “I really don’t want gays around. Any man that would compromise his own body would compromise anything.”

The “gays” have responded on Yelp and Facebook by declaring James’s establishment the “[b]est place for hot man sex!”

Another reviewer notes that “Gary does’t serve tube steak. He asks for yours when you walk in the door. But don’t ask to use his backdoor, he saves that for minorities.”

The restaurant’s official t-shirt proudly threatens violence against minorities.

It is not known whether any of the “Yelpers” who claim the establishment is “the best gay and/or BDSM club in or around Oklahoma” have actually dined in the restaurant.

Raw Story attempted to contact Gary James to discern whether there had been an uptake in tickets and tables since this story broke last week, but despite calling during listed business hours, the call went to a voicemail system that indicated that the restaurant could not save any more messages.

Struggling whooping crane population loses three to gunfire

North America's tallest bird, with a population of about 600, has lost three adults to gunfire in recent months, which "senselessly" undercuts plans to breed a thriving population of the radiant white whooping crane, wildlife authorities say.
