Please do not frame this in terms of liberals vs. conservatives. Wind power is a bad, bad idea. (I am a conservative and a conservationist!) There is no question the pro-Cape Wind folks supplied much of the information that went into the report. The article reads like the Wind marketing literature.
I wish we had the luxury to laugh at their claims of Tourism opportunities, benefits to the economy, and how wind will save us from foreign oil. But, unfortunately, the misinformed buy this line.
Can someone tell me how many barrels of oil this facility will save us? Does it even dent the 20-million per day consumed by the US?
My hope is that the Army Corp says NO.

Okay, well, we know about your ideology now. Are you an engineer, too? ;-)

I want to stick my thumb in the eye of the rich liberals who are oh-so-pious about fat Middle Americans and their SUV addiction, yet totally hypocritical about renewable energy in their own back yard.
If it's a failure, let it be proven so in Ted Kennedy's back yard, not mine!

funny....last summer I talked with my pro-Green, far-left in-law who complained that the big bad power companies would not spend $300 million to build a wind farm in Missouri.
I suggested the Green Party do it themselves. She didn't like that idea.

I disagree with your conclusion. The fastest way to end this fiasco that wind power is a viable option IS to build them right in the libs playground.
