Oh, most of them are rich and wouldn't care as they are vacation homes for the most part. That's not very wide coverage.

But if they are hogging energy that could be diverted elsewhere, that is another matter.

There may be some who manage to live there year-round who might benefit.

As a child I visited Nantucket. Presumably it was more affordale then, lovely, charming place. Kids came out to the boat and dove for coins people threw in the water. I wonder if they still do that. As a parent, I don't think I'd like my kid doing that.

Every time 400,000 homes can be provided electricity on the Cape and on the Islands, that can mean more and cheaper electricity for you.

Right now, we are burning alot of oil to take care of Kennedy, Kerry, David Letterman, Walter Cronkite, and the others on those Islands and on Cape Cod. This oil could be used elsewhere.

If local wind energy and/or nuclear energy was produced at the local areas, then Northern New England could keep their electrical production at home and would not have to support the swimmer and his friends.
