Celebrating An American Christmas
Celebrating An American Christmas

The Western View: November is Veterans Month
Thank You to Our Troops and Military Service Men and Women Carved in Sand
The President has declared the entire month of November a salute to those who served in our military.

Windstar Energy 120 Megawatt wind farm construction project, June 2011
With all the talk of agriculture contributing mightily to global warming with greenhouse gas emissions, the environmental movement is ignoring one of the worst greenhouse gas pollutants on the planet.
