Mad Moderate

And then you wrapped the Cape Cod National Seashore into your argument... for those who don't know better you make it sound like the Wind Farm will be located in a National Park. Have you been taking lessons from Rush Limbaugh? Seriously now, there are some fair arguments to be made against the Wind Farm. But the "like Yosemite" argument you made is about as lame and deceitful as it gets. Nantucket Sound has as much commercial Traffic as I-95.  Likewise your arguments about navigation, birds, and fishing. Lame, lame and lame again.

Windmills in Natucket Sound will be pretty during the day and at night... well... I admit that a runway full of red lights in what was once a mysterious sea of blackness will be unfortunate. But even that is weak tea for opposing the Wind Farm.

The best argument I'm aware of against the wind farm is that this allocation of sea bed for commercial development could open the door to a host of unintended and unfortunate consequences. That said, I think it's worth the risk.

The bottom line Bobby is that we need energy, lots of it, and all of the choices are ugly. Conservation will only go so far. Thus, we need to do a lot of things. I'm in favor of all of them to some degree...in conjunction with conservation we should impose a stiff carbon tax while aggressively pursuing nuclear energy, drilling in ANWAR and developing tidal geothermal and wind energy sources. We need conservation and more and better energy sources to accomplish two things that are critical to our local and national inerests: 1) true energy independence that diminishes income sources to radical islam and 2) aggressive action to mitigate global warming.

With regard to global warming, let me appeal to you as a selfish property owner (okay it's not yours but it might as well be) with beach front property just 10' above the high tide of Nantucket Sound. Cape Cod residents and especially people like you have a chance to set an example to take a position of true leadership against global warming. If you can't act in your own long term self interest, then how can we expect anyone else to do it.
