...turbines, which are installed on approximately 3,000 American homes, are generally not economically feasible, according to a recent report by the American Wind and Energy Association. Electricity generated by such turbines can cost as much as $1.50 per kilowatt hour, compared to between 10 and 50 cents for normal wind power. In addition, small-scale turbines installed in cities have lower productivity due to interference and intermittent wind, according to a recent report released by the Carbon Trust, a British-funded group that helps companies reduce their carbon emissions. Still, the move to install wind turbines on buildings...
...careful getting out of Iraq as it was careless going in. President Bush announced today that he'll withdraw only about 5% of the current 146,000-strong force in Iraq before he leaves office. "Civilian deaths are down, sectarian killings are down, suicide bombings are down and normal life is returning to communities across the country," Bush told a military audience in Washington this morning.

...political analysts say that while the visit may be historic, it is at best only a first step. Both countries have been seeking ways to re establish normal relations at least since Sarkisian was elected earlier this year, but obstacles include the ongoing dispute over Armenian occupation of Nagorno-Karabakh, claimed by Azerbaijan with Turkey's backing. And then there's the long-standing tension over Turkey's refusal to call the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Armenians at the hands of Ottoman Turks during the First World War a genocide...
