| Message | Yes but WHERE will the ugly, habitat destroying turbines, propellors and dams be located? Only kidding... we believe in this too and find such wind-power turbines strangely beautiful in the right location. |

| Message | This is the right way and we are happy to support this. May we suggest a little upgrading for this bill ... ? It would be also a good solution to fix a the law that every new build one family and semi-detachet house has to have solar energy cells on the roove. This will keep the family's energy costs low, save the enviroment on keeps us step by step independent by oil. |

| Message | How about this: "Any homeowner who undertakes the expense of rendering their dwelling capable of producing its own self-sustaining energy shall receive generous tax credits. This includes, but is not limited to, solar energy cells, small wind turbines, hydrogen power cells, and 'grey-water' systems." |

| Message | Well, that's fine for us. Though wind turbines seems to be meaningless. Instead of this we believe in water turbines. It is nearly the same but their propeller are under the water line of the sea and they function in both ways. The gain the pwoer out of the sea current. This is a constant value and not so uncertain like the wind. Another benefit is they wont look silly in the regions as they are under water. And well, we have more water then land. |

| Message | Though we don't believe that wind turbines look "silly," the IPS should be pleased to see the new wording of this bill. |
