GENERAL

Electronic Green Journal - peer-reviewed articles, book reviews, news, and information on current printed and electronic sources concerning international environmental topics. Articles vary in scope and focus but are intended for researchers, resource professionals, as well as the educated generalist.

Environmental News Network - They are "the leading publisher of environmental news, and radio programs on the internet. Our goals are to help educate the public on major environmental issues and topics and to provide tools to help individuals take action in their own communities. We are not an activist publication; instead we try to present information from all sides, enabling our audience to make their own informed decisions." (from their website).

Earth Portal - A comprehensive resource for timely, objective, science-based information about the environment. It is a means for the global scientific community to come together to produce the first free, expert-driven, massively scaleable information resource on the environment, and to engage civil society in a public dialogue on the role of environmental issues in human affairs. It contains no commercial advertising and reaches a large global audience.

ENERGY

The site includes links about wind energy production, projects, designs, and other issues.
