Cold & Dark
Editorial in the Providence Journal on Wednesday, September 28, 2005
In New England non-energy news, Connecticut officials recently gathered to announce their opposition to a liquefied-natural-gas terminal in the middle of Long Island Sound. Meanwhile, other people coalesced to fight a proposed LNG terminal on an island in outer Boston Harbor. Gee, putting these things out of town was supposed to be the solution to the NIMBYism against them.
Meanwhile, we read an interesting blog by Bill Hubbard, of Hook-Up Bait and Tackle and Charter Service, in Orleans, Mass. Mr. Hubbard describes a recent fishing trip with his pal Michael Bartlett, of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Mr. Hubbard says that Mr. Bartlett was on the Cape to, as Mr. Hubbard says, "make sure the Cape Wind project to place 120 [it's really 130] windmills in Nantucket Sound doesn't fly." Hmm.
Where do New Englanders think they're going to get electricity and heat in a few years?
