Renewable Energy Revolution

I actually use Walter to filter out people looking to speak to me, usually police of some sort.

Yeah, nice try Susan. No one gets to talk with the big guy until you talk with Stacy first.... good luck!

Hello! I work for Environment Massachusetts and am trying to get in touch with an author of this blog. I would like to work with them about spreading the word about some of the exciting things we've been getting done. My e-mail is susan.torres35@gmail.com. I hope to hear from you soon!

capemom... Then you really got to stop looking at just the pictures!

Cru, that's a great quote from a smart man. Somehow I missed it in October's VF, I am a faithful subscriber.

On the record, "You only learn who has been swimming naked when the tide goes out --and what we are witnessing at some of our largest financial institutions is an ugly site".-Warren Buffett, Vanity Fair Oct 08'.

Whoa berenski!... A flash from the past you dug up here.

Thankfully, I am sooooo much better a person now-a-days. Peter & mav have reformed my soul.

So, tell me...

What brings you to this site?...

I feel your pain man. Can you believe there are some DOLTS that don't want wind turbines 6 miles off shore up here?

I agree: "How about we ship you some of them?"...

Most fitting.

Always in someone elses 'Back yard'...

A COAL OR OIL burning generating facility.

We have the oppportunity to have a WIND powered generator SIX MILE OUT...

And they want it SOMEWHERE ELSE.

MY VIEW!... MY VIEW!

Give me a break.

It's...

Disgusting.

Fellows, We have about 30% of the US's refineries down here in Texas. They are pretty ugly too, and smell. How about we ship you some of them? An alternative, how about we not ship the other states refined products. See how that works this winter. (It's warm here.) I know you will see the point, we all need some slight inconvenience to survive in a community. Please do your small part too.

And for the obstructionist office holders:

Polluticians

That's so funny...

Their a bunch of Koch-Heads!

In fairness to one of the other big time D'alliance funders we can't leave out Durkins' neighbor & benefactor Richard Egan...

'Dick-Heads' too.

How about Koch-Head?

That's a good one blackjack...

What would you call their current ring leader Glenn Whatley?

It took me a while but I got it!

Durkin's fault... She started it & po'd Wally.

Looks as if the entire site is deleted due to off topic comments..
Have a good night...

Gramm , and his ilk(99% of Congress) have never had it so good..
A paycheck for life on the backs of the working class..
Unlimited healthcare..
No dependence on Social Security..
No accountability for job performance..
Endless opps after retirement from lobbyists and speaking engagements..

I' m surprised he didn't quote Marie Antoinette after all

Guess we all get what we vote for from both parties...

Since this seems to be the Blog O' Th' Day for Cape Wind-related froth, I'd like to share the electronic correspondence with Congressfolks I just sent after a prod from the NRDC using their facilities regarding recent proposals to open oil and natural gas drilling off U.S. coasts:

"Recent proposals to allow drilling off the United States coasts are healthy movements towards a private incentive-based solution to our enormous energy problems. Limitations such as those on oil drilling and drilling for natural gas are simply mechanisms for NIMBY advocates to prevent any development along coasts, such as can be seen with the proposed Cape Wind project in Nantucket Sound. While I am skeptical that producing additional fossil fuel sources will seriously help, misuse of environmental regulations to further personal ends has gone rampant, and needs to be stopped."

I'm glad Senator Phil Gramm has straightened me out and told me "I never had it so good." I would never have guessed it without his wisdom.

Walter, you have never been so eloquent. I wish I had used "martini mist" first.

Hey, I think I'm starting to get it.... from now on just post yeh or nay.

smahkcep
I'm all for renewable energy,clean air and water, and total independence for all sources of petroleum based products..
Wind is one source... for starters..

It's the cost of oil/gas that's crippling all of us daily, and the idiocy of ethanol as an additive driving up resulting food costs exponentially..

We have some serious problems that are not being addressed, or starting to address as reactionary, rather than proactively...

Market forces(greed) have forged ahead for profit and now are reaping their rewards as the market crumbles..
I could care less about windmills on the horizon..
I still see no solutions as gas, deisel, and gasoline climb weekly, neverending, and all we hear about is wind as the solution(or problem to some) to end all..

By the time these turbines are up and running, what will our electric rates be, and what will the price of gas be at the pump..never mind heating our homes this winter?

At least NSTAR allows a payment plan for our electric bill, but there is no payment plan at the pump, nor at the grocery store...

"MMS DEIS states that Cape Wind would double the current wholesale cost of energy."

MMS DEIS indeed said CW wholesale of 0.12 KWh versus then market rate of 0.06.

May 2008, ISO NE says peak rates are now up to 0.12, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission puts 2008 summer peak at 0.14.

CW costs up too, said to be in the 0.15 to 0.18 range.

So its no longer CW at double the price. It appears to be more like 10 to 20%. The gap is closing as fuel prices rise.

"Without public subsidy..."

No fair to point a finger at CW subsidies unless you also take away all the billions in subsidies to oil, gas, coal, nuclear, etc.

sorry, "infrastructure", not "infrastruction" is what I meant to state in my last comment.

Shut down, during migratory season, is a costly 2 months approximate Cape Wind event that has not been factored into the high price of Cape Wind's intermittent power capture plan.

Which, candidly, is more of a tax avoidance strategy than an energy capture strategy.

If we're foolish enough to accept the offer that Cape Wind considers that we can't refuse.

Cape Wind as Pioneer Energy Park will burn fossil fuel in Westfield, Stephen.

All oil sticks to the backs of marine mammals, fish and birds. That would include the unidentified 40,000 gallons that would be contained in the Cape Wind Electrical Service Platform.

But, YOU have said, “The point is: CAPE WIND - WILL- Help to reduce our dependence on foreign OIL & NATURAL GAS supplies...”

And you can't have it both ways...

"No one to my knowledge has ever said that CAPE WIND will reduce the amount of natural gas nor oil consumption used for "the winter heating" nor the price therof."

MMS DEIS states that Cape Wind would double the current wholesale cost of energy. Without public subsidy, bonding, infrastruction and transmission upgrades or costly operation and maintenance O&M costs reflected. Yikes!

Perhaps you missed it possee...

- CAPE WIND will burn no fossil fuels to generate electricity.

- Currently, Brayton Point in Somerset/Fall River MA burns primarily COAL & then OIL to generate electricity.

- Currently, The Miriant plant in Sandwich burns bunker grade (thicker than molasses - floats on water/sticks to the back of marine animals) oil to generate electricity.

- BOTH of these plants IMPORTS fossil fuels to burn.

- Natural gas is not the fuel source for either of these plants.

- No one to my knowledge has ever said that CAPE WIND will reduce the amount of natural gas nor oil consumption used for "the winter heating" nor the price therof.

- No one to my knowledge has ever said that the price of gasoline will be affected by CAPE WIND...

What else do you want to know?

Gas-holes!

Disclaimer: The preceding comment neither approves or disapproves of the Cape Wind project.... I just like the name.

I've met with the Cape Cod Today editor's eraser again.

Sailing cynics, Pandora Preventers, Waterfront Warriors, and Nobodysfools offend thee?

This is fantastic!!

My question has been answered!

"renewable energy project which could provide the working stiffs here with 75% of their electric needs without burning an ounce of oil?"

I never knew til now how much CW would provide..

Thank you..
..now what about natural gas/oil for the winter heating?

Is that going down, too, along with gasoline?
