I like 90% of your argument. Except the windfarm part.

The Cape windfarm can't generate enough electricity in its lifetime to equal the cost of the fish that can't be caught in the Wind farm's footprint should it be built. When you crunch the numbers, using today's fish and energy prices, job loss, need for retraining, and lost business to manufacturers, boatbuilders, chandleries, etc, (it takes 6 full time jobs to support the infrastructure for one full time commercial fisherman. Between 4 and 5 of those jobs are within the same region as the boat) to the people of Cape Cod, buying the electricity elsewhere is easier on the wallet. Why should 400 fishing jobs (equating to about 2,000 local jobs) and massive economic loss hit the Cape so that a for-profit house full of smelly hippies in the Midwest can look smug and become fabulously wealthy? Electricity on the Cape won't be any cheaper than it is elsewhere.
I believe, personally, that the next question to be asked is whether or not we should create new economic losses and entitlement in the name of crafting policy? If the answer is yes, than there you go, I guess.

We could solve, that, however, by building the farm on the Kennedy compound. Eminent Domain time!
