• I love the article, which is a topic I'm more than familiar with but learned a great deal about from the content here. The article appears to meet criteria and I'd go with ALT1, but the link provided in the article is dead. Furthermore, I'm not sure that the North Shore Towers Courier is the best kind of source for this kind of claim. Could a different hook use the details regarding energy independence?

• Sorry it took me so long to reply. Sure, I will replace the reference within 12 hours or so. – Epicgenius (talk) 17:35, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
• @Alansohn: I've made a new ALT2. Do you prefer that instead? Epicgenius (talk) 17:38, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

• ALT2 is good to go. Alansohn (talk) 23:15, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

• Thank you for your approval. In the meantime, I also updated the link to Queens Courier, though even more reliable sources are to be found later. Epicgenius (talk) 00:21, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
