  He's against wind power based on an experience fighting a proposed wind farm near his house. If it has been a proposal to build a nuclear power station near his house, would he now be favouring wind farms and against nuclear power? Or is there more to it than that?

  Yes - Smoked_galaxy (great handle, by the way) said exactly what I was trying to say earlier in the thread. I've tried the "voices and opinions" section a couple of times in the past week, and it's hopeless for that daily fix of commentary.

  Still missing Gristmill. Coping better now with the withdrawal symptoms. Have discovered DeSmogBlog, and it works like methadone.

  Okay, thanks to Biodiversivist, I finally found the "voices and opinion" section. Actually I did find it before, but it looked nothing like the gristmill blog, so I decided I was in the wrong place. Now I can just about see how gristmill mutated into this, but it's pretty useless. As a regular visitor to gristmill, I want to see the blog - what's been posted since I last visited. Now I have to go and click on each columnist's picture separately. Can't you at least give me an RSS feed with just the bloggers, without all the news items mixed in, so I can pretend the old gristmill never went away? It's been 3 days now without gristmill, and I'm starting to get withdrawal symptoms. (PS don't care two hoots about the colours and layout - I just want the blog format back.)

  very nice, but it's broken

  In a wave of enthusiasm, I went off to join Hotdish. I'm a bit old for (and don't care about) the prize stuff, but I thought it would be nice to participate anyway. But the sign up page conflates the "join the hotdish community" (which is what I'd like to do) with "join the action team", which appears to be restricted to US residents. Furthermore, it won't let me get any further unless I check a box to say I agree with a set of official rules that explicitly excludes me as a Canadian. So then I clicked on the "contact us" button to point this out, and that also takes me to the same (broken) sign up page.

  Look, I understand the US needs to sort out its mess, but if you're into community building on the internet, national boundaries should be irrelevant - don't exclude us for'ners.On Join new climate-action Facebook application, win rewards posted 8 months, 1 week ago 2 Responses
