The wind, a favorite power source of the green energy movement, seems to be dying down across the United States. And the cause, ironically, may be global warming — the very problem wind power seeks to address.

The idea that winds may be slowing is still a speculative one, and scientists disagree whether that is happening. But a first-of-its-kind study suggests that average and peak wind speeds have been noticeably slowing since 1973, especially in the Midwest and the East.

Remember the days when scientists would publish FACTS?

Lock him in a very tiny room with a very hungry Tipper?

Cut him into tiny pieces, whip up eleventy million cassoulets, and feed the entire third world?

So many options…
