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.

Not at all like the "Big Dig," a sweetheart deal for all at a cost of $15,000,000,000.
