Spain becomes first country to rely on wind as top energy source | Al Jazeera America | Mr Tony's Geography Stuff | Scoop.it

"As many I was deeply shocked by the tragedy that occurred in Boston earlier this month...As more information on the origin of the alleged perpetrators is coming to light, I am concerned to note in the social media a most unfortunate misunderstanding in this respect.  The Czech Republic and Chechnya are two very different entities - the Czech Republic is a Central European country; Chechnya is a part of the Russian Federation."

Tony Hall's insight:

This is the reason that geography is important.
