A small dirty town in Italy called Tocco da Casauria installed wind turbines and now not only produces green energy, but is also producing more than they need and making money off of the extra. The town decided to install these turbines because they were paying so much for electricity, three times what they average American paid. The article was written by Elisabeth Rosenthal on September 28, 2010. The author of the article demonstrates bias by praising the endeavors of this small town to use renewable energy. The article is pro environmentalist which is apparent because the author notes the fact that the town Tocco has won awards from international environmental groups for its efforts in renewable energy.
