More important will it ruin the scenic views from the “Kennedy Compound”?

They are bird killers. Where are all the environmental liberals nutcases.

These things kill far more birds than their imaginary climate change ever would.

these things probably wouldn’t make a dime without government subsidies.

How does interfering with wind patterns affect climate change? I guess it doesn’t matter.

This is just great, my elec bill here is slated to rise 39% this year supposedly due to poor access to natural gas and the original Cape Wind numbers were another 40% or so. this will now cause it to double or triple in time.
I’m already paying close to 20 cents per kilowatt hour.
ARGH!!

But I don't think it will decrease the population of Loons.

I think the Kennedy's and the other NIMBY's were more concerned with the much closer project proposed between Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket and the mainland.
