State poll: People like wind power, not nuclear waste
A new type of polling done for the Department of Public Service found most respondents "extremely concerned" about nuclear waste and so supportive of wind power they wouldn't mind a wind farm within sight of their homes. Intensive regional workshops and a weekend of "deliberative polling" in which people were invited to get up to speed on energy issues and then express their feelings about them produced those results. "People place a high value on efficiency, they support renewables as a source of energy and they're very interested in in-state generation of power," David O'Brien, commissioner of the DPS, said he saw as three of the survey effort's most important findings. The Legislature asked the department to undertake an in-depth study of Vermonters' opinions about energy as the state prepares for the possible loss within the next eight years of two-thirds of its power supplies.

She said the country�s development had stopped after the rule of NDA government at the Centre. Lashing out at Congress President Sonia Gandhi, Ms Bharti said Ms Gandhi could not become the country�s Prime Minister because the countrymen would not tolerate her because of her foreign origin. Praising the high integrity of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, she said the Prime Minister should have the courage to remove the tainted ministers from his Cabinet and if he was unable to do so, he should come out of the government.
