Comments on: Cape Wind Kibosh: It’s Ted Kennedy’s doing http://bluemassgroup.com/2006/04/cape-wind-kibosh-its-ted-kennedys-doing/ Reality-based commentary on politics and policy in Massachusetts and around the nation Fri, 24 May 2013 09:35:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: ryepower12 http://bluemassgroup.com/2006/04/cape-wind-kibosh-its-ted-kennedys-doing/#comment-9266 ryepower12 Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.bluemassgroup.com/diary/2057/#comment-9266 <p>Kennedy has annoyed me to no end on Cape Wind. It's so disappointing becuase he's so typically right on the issues, especially poverty issues. Most Americans and Massachusetts residents, especially, support renewable energy. We need this project. Massachusetts supports this project.</p> <p><</p> <p>p> The fact that he'd side with the few and the wealthy on Nantucket (who, by all accounts, won't even be able to SEE Cape Wind) make me almost want to not vote for him. On my blog, I "strongly" support 3 politicians/candidates... and because of Cape Wind, Ted Kennedy sadly isn't one of them.</p> Kennedy has annoyed me to no end on Cape Wind.

I wonder if Ted Kennedy has seen it. I think cleanpowernow.org has copies. In Vermont, I am told that in one second home community, the houses with the views of the wind turbines in Searberg command higher prices.</p> was made last year, when a group of Cape Codders traveled to Denmark to see what an actual wind farm would look like and sound like, and how it had affected the communities there.

I've been talking with some Green-Rainbow folks about finding a candidate to run in the US Senate race to get him to debate this issue, as it seems if anytime more neccesary for a Dem to be challenged on Green issues is this one. Kennedy is such a strong political force that there's no chance of him not winning, but a respectable green vote against him on this could be rather effective.</p> I for the most part have huge respect for Ted Kennedy, but this Cape Wind blocking is ridiculous.
