Do as I say and not as I do, Cape Wind review

Sub title; How I Killed America's First Offshore Wind Farm by EMK
Cape Wind
Peter Schweizer Do As I Say (Not As I Do) is a brilliant expostion of liberal hypocrisy. The Kennedy family all by itself provides substantial material for Peter's book. For example, Schweizer discusses Ted Kennedy's opposition to a wind power project on Nantucket Sound that would apparently impair the view from the Kennedy family compound six miles away. Not in his backyard!
Peter's book has a serious point. Peter argues that the behavior of notable liberals conflicting with their professed beliefs shows their beliefs to be "ultimately self-defeating, self-destructive, and unworkable."
Alex Beam is a Boston Globe columnist with whose work I am unfamiliar. The current issue of the Weekly Standard carries Beam's very funny review of Cape Wind: Money, Celebrity, Class, Politics and the Battle for America's Energy Future on Nantucket Sound by Wendy Williams and Robert Whitcomb. Unfortunately, Beam's review is restricted to subscribers.
Cape Wind is the 24-square-mile, turbine-powered electrical power project to be built in Horseshoe Shoal that is discussed in Schweizer's book. Cape Wind chronicles the opposition of wealthy Cape Cod residents and Martha's Vineyard islanders such as David McCullough, Walter Cronkite, and all manner of Kennedys, Mellons and Duponts to Cape Wind:
The Mellons and the DuPonts have summered on the Cape for a lot longer than former cable TV salesman Jim Gordon has been a millionaire, and, naturally, they have powerful friends. Cue the pathetic marital opportunist Sen. John Warner, who nominally represents the people of Virginia. Blubbering to the Senate's Environment and Public Works Committee, Warner invokes his first, pre-Elizabeth Taylor, wife: "A wonderful person who is still a very dear and valued friend. . . . She does have a home on the Cape. I was actually married there."Beam describes the book:The wonderful woman in question is Catherine Mellon, daughter of Bunny, the widow of Paul Mellon. Bunny, who is the first person named in Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis's will--Jackie left her two Indian miniatures, by way of thanks for Bunny's help in redesigning the White House Rose Garden--is an ardent Cape Wind opponent. In the book, she accuses a lawyer who does not hate Cape Wind assiduously enough of being a "traitor to your class." That's language you expect to hear on Masterpiece Theater, not in George W. Bush's America.
The authors relate how, pace President Bush, Cape Wind has proved to be a uniter, not a divider. Outraged by the shenanigans on Capitol Hill-not only Warner, but also Alaska's notorious "bridge to nowhere" congressman Don Young have tried to throttle the child of Aeolus in its watery crib-such unlikely bedfellows as Robert Novak, the Washington Post, and the Washington Times have leapt to Cape Wind's defense.How rare for Sun Myung Moon's scribblers, to say nothing of Rupert Murdoch's salarymen at Fox News, to find themselves allied with the merry pranksters from Greenpeace, who have injected some badly needed humor into the Cape Wind imbroglio. Greenpeace produced an ad showing a roly-poly senator standing knee-deep in salt water, brandishing a wooden mallet. As wind turbines surface, the senator smashes them down, Whac-a-Mole style, complaining that "I might see them from my mansion on the Cape." Fox News commentators Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes loved the ad, and gave it air play.
Greenpeace teased Robert Kennedy Jr. during an anti-Cape Wind photo op and infiltrated a Ted Kennedy book-signing in Washington. While the senior senator from Massachusetts signed copies of America Back on Track, replete with predictable complaints about the country's energy policy, Greenpeaceniks handed out dummy book covers to people waiting in line. Their alternate title: How I Killed America's First Offshore Wind Farm.
I ask you, where is the respect?
Beam devoted a Globe column to the book in "Dirty politics, clean power on the Cape." Also of note among Beam's recent columns is "A silent springtime for Hitler?"

Mr. Gray:
I followed your link and came out of my chair when I read your Post. You are misinformed regarding bird kill by turbines.
“According to a study released in 2004 by the California Energy Commission, an estimated 1,700 to 4,700 birds die each year by flying into whirling turbine blades or being electrocuted by transmission lines that thread through the 50,000-acre Altamont Wind Resource Area." "116 golden eagles, 300 red-tailed hawks, 333 American kestrels and 380 burrowing owls, the study found."
A lawsuit just was just settled that assumes 1,300 golden eagle deaths in that Livermore area each year. Chris Metinko, Inside Bay Area 4/24/07
You identify yourself as "Director of Communications for the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA)" in your site profile. You state under Industry, "non-profit". You must be kidding.
When did the AWEA become a “non-profit” industry? LOL

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Barbara. The American Wind Energy Association is a nonprofit trade association. I actually know quite a bit about the bird kills in Altamont Pass, and also about the fact that to date (25 years after the first turbines were installed there), Altamont remains an anomaly among U.S. wind sites. The National Academy of Sciences noted this week that in 2003, wind turbines accounted for just three of every 100,000 human-related bird deaths in the U.S.

“Bird fatalities in the Altamont Pass Wind Resource Area APWRA have plagued the industry and clouded the public perceptions of whether the wind can be developed as an environmentally safe, renewable energy resource.”
Michael Boyd-President of CARE Californians for Renewable Energy
Jeff Miller- Center for Biological Diversity.
The lesson of Altamont is that wind towers have killed thousands of birds where they were sited in migratory bird flyways. Nantucket Sound exists in the North Atlantic Flyway. It is a habitat to endangered species protected under the ESA and other species protections.
DOI/USFWS, Greenpeace, the Sierra Club, the American Bird Conservancy, MA Audubon all suggest that siting wind towers in areas where the Endangered Species Act should be avoided in their position statements/guidelines. Location, location, location, and Nantucket Sound should be an excluded from consideration as suitable for the Cape Wind industrial scale wind facility if we want to be considered good students.

Barbara - you and Robert Kennedy share the same mininformed ideas about wind power.
A great comment on the DR Show today was a windsurfer from Martha's Vineyard who finds it hard to believe the fisherman are up in arms when some show no regard for the environment while bottom dragging/clear cutting in the sound.
According to Wendy Williams, SOS/Alliance has spent 15 million with no scientific studies to show for it.
SOS/Alliance doesn't speak for the general public. They speak for Bill Koch (Coal Magnate) and other carbon-trading, high-heeled folk.
I would expect that your name will be mentioned in the book Barbara?
I wonder how many of the 40 home owners who plan to 'nourish' their beach by dredging in Nantucket Sound have come out against the Cape Wind project...?

Randall Swisher, director of the American Wind Energy Association uses the term ”inexhaustible" to describe wind power. Cape Wind’s spokesman says wind is ‘blowing by us all the time.”
Yet, according to Cape Wind’s data tower web page- “Based on the average wind speeds over the past [4] hours, the Cape Wind Project would have produced 0 [Zero] Mw hours of clean local, renewable energy”
The only reliable part of industrial wind power is the hype and wishful thinking that comes with it.

I wonder how the Nantucket Whaling fleet was able to decimate the Right Whales with such fickle winds.
Hmm.. How did the America's Cup race ever happen every year for over 100 years with such fickle wind?
How is it that I'm looking at a chart showing vessels wrecked all along the Cape Cod coastline when these vessels were sail powered and calling from foreign ports?
How did the Pilgrims make it over with Neil's constant statements of no wind no wind no wind...?

Wind power is the source of 50% of the campus energy needs. This is public record. I'm surprised that you haven't reviewed this to realize that there is a benefit.
Publicly or Privately funded wind turbines generate the same amount of electricity, wind conditions being the same...

Btw, Has anyone done a study to see if there are any dead birds by this thing?
I found a few articles that said the birds seem to avoid it. Haven't found any articles showing dead ones. If anyone has photos of dead birds by the mass maritime turbine please post them.

More bad news for wind power proponents. I just checked the MMA turbine web page too. Wind power is NOT working right now. The turbine is producing “Zero Kw’s”. Seems there is something fishy with the MMA turbine web page. The graph says the turbine produced 100 Kw at noon, but there is practically no wind to speak of. The ‘generating’ number has been at ‘zero Kw’ all morning and early afternoon.
Where can I find that public record Moses?
Five straight hours have now passed with ZERO Mw hours ‘projected’ output from Cape Wind.

Neil - call MMA up and get a report. Do a FOIA request... whatever you want.
MMA SAYS 50% ($100,000) per year is generated by the wind turbine.
I was a student there for 4 years and it is windy quite often Neil.
I've spent a lot of time on the water and conditions on the water don't always match those ashore.
Neil, you seem like a smart guy but you just don't understand the concept.

I do understand the concept. Everything I see convinces me that a huge industrial wind power plant in the center of Nantucket Sound would be impractical and unnecessary.
Here is a report making the rounds today. Paul Watson, “…founder and president of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and famous for militant intervention to stop whalers, now warns mankind is “acting like a virus” and is harming Mother Earth….”
Watson urged some solutions for mankind-
“Sea transportation should be by sail. The big clippers were the finest ships ever built and sufficient to our needs. Air transportation should be by solar powered blimps when air transportation is necessary…” "Watson essentially called for humans to return to primitive lifestyles. “We need to stop flying, stop driving cars, and jetting around on marine recreational vehicles. The Mennonites survive without cars and so can the rest of us.”
Moses, do you think sail power will return in the sea transportation field? Or would that be just too impractical?

So you think that was a ridiculous question? You don’t believe commercial sail/wind power will be returning to the high seas? I don’t either.
It is also ridiculous to believe wind power can provide a significant, cost effective, amount of electricity in the future- for the same reasons we won’t be seeing clipper ships return- wind power is just too unreliable.
It is now nearly flat calm on Nantucket Sound. Seven straight hours without enough wind to produce a single watt of electricity.

The Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound has led, and continues to lead the fight to spare Nantucket Sound from inappropriate development. Cape Wind has selected the wrong site as this area is under current use that conflicts with this proposal.
We cannot afford to ignore the lesson of Altamont. Do not site turbines in a migratory flyway and an endangered species habitat; location, location, location.
We can't afford to ignore the public safety warnings coming from the experts.
In the words of the National Air Traffic Controllers Cape TRACON to the USACE:
“The evidence of endangerment to all who travel by air sea over and upon Nantucket Sound is compelling.”
Aesthetics are subjective, but I must share that I do find them to be inferior to God's handiwork by a very wide margin.

Facts on Nantucket Wind
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but not to make up facts. When substantiated, facts speak for themselves.
On averages. If wind produces 100 MWh for on hour and 200 MWh the next, the average for those two hours are 150 MWh. Everyone (almost) understands that.
As documented by the Dept. of Energy, the total wind production on Horseshoe Shoal for the year Apr. 03 to Mar. 04, according to wind measured by the data tower (every ten minutes), would have been 1,691,261 MWh or an average of 193 MW. And that’s a capacity factor of 42%. Not too bad.
Every MWh from wind dispatched on the grid means one less MWh from a fossil generation plant. You can’t store energy on the grid.
Fossil plants do no run at full load or burn more fuel than necessary to produced the power they are allowed to dispatch by ISO NE. Right now all generators in NE are putting out about 15,000 MW from a total installed capacity of about 33,000 MW.

“The fear is that with all the new wind farms rolling out, there is a new Altamont being created today,” says Greg Butcher, National Audubon’s director of bird conservation. “But because we don’t have the data, we just don’t know about it."

Yes Chuck, facts do speak all by themselves. The German grid operator E. On Netz has far more experience with wind power than ISO New England or any other grid operator in the world. Here are bits and pieces from the company’s ‘Wind Report 2005’
“At the end of last year, there was an installed wind power capacity of over 7,000 MW in the E.ON Netz grid area… more than the entire wind power capacity of the United States.”
“…dependence on the prevailing wind conditions means that wind power has a limited load factor even when technically available… Traditional power stations with capacities equal to 90% of the installed wind power capacity must be permanently online in order to guarantee power supply at all times… the increased use of wind power in Germany has resulted in uncontrollable fluctuations occurring on the generation side due to the random character of wind power feed-in… Guaranteed wind power capacity is below ten percent – traditional power stations [remain] essential.”
