Clean Power Now, the pro-wind-farm group on the Cape, has videos on their site of their trip to Denmark to see the wind farms at Blavand. They also have a DVD available for the asking, if you don’t like the resolution on your computer. (Full disclosure: this trip was led by my cousins Bill and Dorte Griswold of Centerville, who appear in the videos.)
You will see that the windmills do not exactly dominate the seascape, to say the least.
So much more reason to call Ted Kennedy, John Kerry and your state rep. and tell them to fight Rep. Don Young’s (R-oil) weasely budget amendment which would make the project impossible.
Ted Kennedy: 202/224-4543 or 617/565-3170
John Kerry: (202) 224-2742 or (617) 565-8519
US House switchboard: (202) 224-3121
(What were you doing with all your extra cell phone minutes, anyway? Give ’em a call.)
This can’t help anything

It must be a family thing.
a family compound thing. I just can’t imagine he’d do this if it were someone else’s backyard.
I’d love to see Joe Kennedy come out for it, I remember we had a discussion here, pre-new web site, that Joe had signaled, halfheartedly, his support for the project.

Then again, I’ll just ad that to the long list of things I’d like to see Joe Kennedy do

(1) Run for Governor
(2) Run for Senate
(3) Stay in the House of Reps
(4) Come out for wind farm and piss of the family.
Danish videos….!
