What do you plant to grow wind? Beans?

...Senator Edward M. Kennedy say that Nantucket Sound, a major attraction for the region's tourism economy, is an inappropriate place for so large an industrial installation ...
Not in my backyard, eh, Orca?

Congress May Block Plan for a Wind Farm in Nantucket Sound Sound like a federally-approved, limosine-liberal case of NIMBY.
Here's my impression of the limosine liberal when asked the wind mills shouldn't be allowed off of Nantucket:
"It's good for the people, but our sensibilities are more sophisticated. It would be hard for the people to understand that our beautiful Nantucket view would be treacherously spoiled by these wind mills. Why don't they put these in Kansas, where they might do the people some good."
This is typical elitist crap. Ruin
their view, not mine.

There is only one solution for achieving the Liberal goal of "environmental friendliness" and that is for a lot of people to die.
Technologically, we can reduce the growth of our pollution output, but we can't actually decrease our overall pollution output. The reason is simply that the large majority of the world's economies are not sufficiently advanced, nor are their governments reasonably capable of environmentally friendly policies, and most of the increase in pollution will be due to these "other" nations, and extraordinary actions taken by the developed nations will achieve very little compared to the flood of pollution generated by the developing world.
Perhaps the best policy for cleaning up the planet is to accelerate third and second world economic growth, which would radically increase their pollution output in the short term, but would more rapidly restrict their impact.

A windfarm in Nantucket? Isn't that where all the beautiful people vacation? Shouldn't this go somewhere like Myrtle Beach, where all the riff raff vacation?

How many tons of pollution does the coal fired powerplant spew each year?

Tedddy is not a good sailor...No telling what he might run into.
Did he get stuck on a bar with his boat?
Plus he can not drive an oldsmobile, either.

If there were any justice in the world, this would be the view from every window in every one of Kerry and Kennedy's beachfront properties.

I'm worried that this might cause global slowing (or speeding, depending on the wind direction).

Onshore is the best place for these wind farms.
Use eminent domain to kick these people off their vacation land. :)

But...Senator Edward M. Kennedy say that Nantucket Sound, a major attraction for the region's tourism economy, is an inappropriate place for so large an industrial installation ...
Just another example showing how the "Party of the People" will only approve legislature as long as it doesn't affect THEM personally.
Complain, complain, complain. And then they vote opposite their complaints. The Senate has become completely useless in solving this country's problems. No legislature reform EVER! Now I see that they are going to vote on a resolution over Palestine, but they don't have time to vote on the Alternative Minimum Tax or on Alito?

The amendment, offered by Representative Don Young, Republican of Alaska, would prohibit new offshore wind facilities within 1.5 nautical miles of a shipping lane or a ferry route. Don't you just love it when magic numbers, such as 1.5 nautical miles that don't seem to have any rational basis, pop up in proposed legislation without any explanation? Could it be that that number was chosen specifically to achieve the goals of Drunken Traitor Ted Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts, through a back-door route? Representative Don Young, Republican of Alaska, needs to come clean on exactly where that number came from.

Personally, I don't care where they put wind mills IF they give us an easy source of energy. Cover the country with 'em.
