has gotten most press for its identification of specific areas for
off-shore wind energy development – as well as its
prohibition of wind farms in other areas, including the area of the

Is this finally the economic collapse?
The Great Depression. Wall Street in 1987. Japan in 1997. Point of
economic collapse are generally crystal clear in the rear-view
mirror. Professional politicians in Japan have been telling stories
for 20 years as to why they can prevent economic stagnation. In the
