The Tet Offensive was a military defeat for North Vietnam. However, it had far-reaching consequences on the views of the Vietnam War held by the American public and the international community.

​Scrapping Wind Subsidies: Ending the "Renewable Obligation"

Basically, it is a return to fossil fuel, bad for ##climatechange exposing us to the vagaries of market and the Russians
