The Economist-- "Insert witty title here"


Air force one | The Economist
America overtakes Germany as the world's biggest wind-power market |

First off, good pun.  Don't know that The Economist gets quite enough credit for their consistent wit.

Second, it's good to see that wind power keeps growing despite (or perhaps along with) the recession.  Each time I drive through the American West, I'm blown away (Is the Economist hiring?) by the long lines of wind turbines.  They're majestic and elegant and would drive Don Quixote wild.
