The fact that Cape Wind is going to make money on this installation, to me, is irrelevant. Look at the corporations behind coal and oil leases on federal land (and offshore) who are paying pennies on the dollar for the right to rip the tops off mountains and pour tons of toxic runoff into surrounding waterways and CO2 into the atmosphere.

We live in a capitalist society. Cape Wind has already sunk millions into research, development and, no doubt, some lobbying. It will cost millions more to actually build the turbines. Eventually, if the company has done it's homework, it will turn a profit. That's how it works in the U.S.

I'm more than willing to listen to solid environmental evidence against the wind farm, but curse a private company because they're going to turn a profit? That's just the way our system works.

Well, beats having to go to the fish shop, I guess.

I've found the General Tso's Chicken at Szechuan Delight in the Harwich East Plaza to be quite tasty - it's take-out only, though. Does Ying's have a liquor license?
