Colonists is the correct usage. I'm the Columnist! Sorry you will have to search for the links yourself.
I'll get on it straight away . . .

I try hard never to comment on typos, spelling, grammar etc. on the forums (unless the slip-up is really funny) but these people are making their living from writing for a prestigious publication and apparently do not know the difference between a verb and a noun! The chance that they know the difference between hydrocarbons and carbohydrates is vanishingly small. So it may be silly of me but I am afraid I have discounted the entire article as being written by an idiot.

I understand and agree. Just because the WSJ writes it, doesn't make it true. So too, that which is penned by any Green doesn’t make the author a real environmentalist!
Balance in any system of energy production is a fair issue to discuss and investigate. That’s the reason I started posting such items.
CWW stands on its own content, which is mostly directed to local and regional issues. However, folks who dismiss litigate concerns about the siting industrial wind machines near residents are making a huge mistake.
If a serious understanding can be forged to respect real health and safety issues, and eliminate the “wind gold rush” and use the public funds that are being wasted on a flawed technology for true long term uses, we would all be better off.
Thanks,

No, the 'colonists' were the Europeans who colonised N. America. You're a 'colonial' or, since the rebellion, an 'ex-colonial'. Whereas Rupert was a 'colonial' until he became a USAmerican citizen. Don't know what that makes him ... (well, I do really but it's too rude to print here ....  ). |

Because we have friends in the UK. Campaign Windfarm Action Groups
Did you not move the WSJ post to this topic on your forum? I made it originally under the Wind Energy section.

| | | Re: Bio-fuels produce more CO2 Exactly, the WSJ post isn't about wind. I added a bit of a tongue-in-cheek comment in post #2 then you've replied with 'Progress at last!' in post #6 ??? I take this to mean that you finally got on to the subject that wanted to bring up in the first place
You seem keen to just post links to your own site, other sites, or long texts that other people have written, mostly talking about issues specific to the US.
