Much like America herself,
national advocacy groups (Hispanic or otherwise) do better when their
power comes from — and remains with — the state and local level.
Tom Natan, research director of the
National Environmental Trust, a Washington - based
advocacy group, said he believes that wind
power's benefits outweigh the negatives and that the involvement of heavyweights such as BP and Shell — regardless of their motives — is necessary to accelerate development of wind
power.
