They present a danger to any drunk Kennedy on a sailboat though.

YEH!! Go Cape Wind!!

Utility scale offshore wind has been going on successfully in Europe since 2002.

Maybe by the time this project is finished, Kennedy and Cronkite will have moved to warmer climes where they have different views.

[JohnLongIsland]

it will be discovered in subsequent years, similar to the herds of caribou on the alaskan pipeline, gams of hyannis orcinuses (please correct my plural) have multiplied by the cape cod windmills and been seen frolicking in the bay on oldsmobile brand jet skis.

What could Kennedy have possibly given Stevens considering that Kennedy has probably stabbed Stevens in the back time and time again concerning energy in Alaska?

[CPOSharky]

A provision tucked into a bill authorizing activities for the U.S. Coast Guard would give Massachusetts' governor a veto over the project, although the turbines would be located in federal waters.

What kind of BS is this?

Maybe so they can shift the blame to the RINO govenor instead of on the rich demonrats on Martha's Vineyard.

Well, one could probably make at least 10 gallons of biodiesel out of Ted Kennedy.

[The Great RJ]

Teddy's very presence on the Cape will probably increase the output of this windmill unless he is standing up wind.

[fso301]

I think the windmills are quite attractive and their pilings will make good fish attractors

[Quix]

I'm sure they have to do SOMETHING

to rid the area of the horrible stink from the Kennedy compound.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Pooooooooooooooor little fat drunk Ted.

[Thoro]

Stevens consulted with Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., whose family retreat is eight miles from the proposed wind farm. Kennedy and other members of the Massachusetts congressional delegation oppose the project, but he has denied that personal considerations are involved.

Kennedy spokeswoman Melissa Wagoner said Kennedy views the project as "a sweetheart deal for a developer" and continues to oppose it.

And with reasoning like that it's clear that his opposition is entirely a personal consideration.

It's going to be a "sweetheart deal" for whatever developer installs them. Regardless of whatever one-time installation fee there is, there's still the obvious neglect of the far reaching benefits of having these extra generators for now and forever more. I have yet to read a logical or reasonable objection to the project.

Then again this is a Democrat we're talking about.

[BlessedByLiberty]

The Kennedy Legacy on Environmentalism: yachts, private airplanes, SUV's, mansions and no windmills.

Role models every one of them!

Well, I can understand why Ted Kennedy is so opposed -- for him, the visual intrustion is twice as severe as it is for the rest of us.
