Are Texans smarter than Cape Codders?
One Texan invests $10 billion to build world's largest wind farm
Cape Codders twiddle their thumbs and argue about merits of Cape Wind

"I have the same feelings about wind as I had about the best oil field I ever found"
- T. Boone PickensApparently Texans are smarter than Cape Codders. Their state is now the number one wind farm state in America. In just the month of January new wind farms ($700 million invested) began supplying an additional 100,000 homes with electricity.
T. Boone Pickens says, "I have the same feelings about wind as I had about the best oil field I ever found", so putting words into action, he's investing $10 billion to build the world's largest wind farm! Talk about GREEN energy!
Nationally, U.S. wind capacity increased by 45% in 2007. America nudged Spain to become number two in wind, second only to Germany.
Surely wind must be a sound investment, not prone to economic disaster as the Alliance to Protect the View would have us believe.
Energy giants from Spain, Portugal, and Germany own 2/3rds of the Texas wind projects currently being built.
I'm grateful that a Boston/Yarmouth company, Cape Wind Associates, is to be the developer of our local participation in the renewable energy movement, rather than a foreign developer."Thank you, Jim Gordon, for your persistence in following your dream" - Cotuit resident Richard C. BartlettThank you, Jim Gordon, for your persistence in following your dream . You have inspired 4 out of 5 Massachusetts citizens to endorse your vision. As Clean Power Now has been saying
all along, "It's the vision, not the view."
Richard C. Bartlett, Cotuit

About This Blog
An op-ed is a piece of writing, expressing an opinion. The name originated from the tradition of newspapers placing each columns on the page opposite to the editorial page. Thus the term "op-ed" is simply a combination of "opposite" and "editorial." The difference with this one, however, is that you can reply immediately by commenting below.
