GREENIES AND "INDIGIANS" BLOCK WIND FARM

NYTIMES:

In a new setback for a controversial wind farm proposed off Cape Cod, the National Park Service announced Monday that Nantucket Sound was eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, guaranteeing further delays for the project.

Known as Cape Wind, the project is the nation’s first planned offshore wind farm and would cover 24 square miles in the sound, an area roughly the size of Manhattan. The park service decision came in response to a request from two Massachusetts Indian tribes, who said the 130 proposed wind turbines would thwart their spiritual ritual of greeting the sunrise, which requires unobstructed views across the sound, and disturb ancestral burial grounds.

The tribes — the Mashpee Wampanoag of Cape Cod and the Aquinnah Wampanoag of Martha’s Vineyard — sought the listing last fall, shortly before a final federal decision on the project was expected. The project has been in the works since 2001 and is strongly supported by Gov. Deval Patrick.

The decision by the National Park Service did not kill the Cape Wind plan, but it erected new hurdles by requiring more negotiations and, possibly, changes to the project, like moving it. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar set a deadline of March 1 for the tribes and the project’s developer, Energy Management Inc., to reach a compromise.

WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP.

IT'S NIMBY, PURE'N SIMPLE.

THE LEFT HAS NO SHAME.

NONE.

THEY TAKE JETS TO ECO-CONFERENCES.

AND BLOCK WIND-FARMS. KERRY AND TEDDY JO KENNEDY OPPOSED IT, TOO.

THEY ARE ALL SIMPLY TOTALLY FULL OF SHIT.

BREZHNEV SOCIALISTS: THEY WANT THE MASSES TO SACRIFICE FOR THE COMMON GOOD EVEN AS THEY LIVE HIGH ON THE HOG WITH THEIR DACHAS AND CAVIAR AND LIMOS.... AND $9 MILLION DOLLAR HAWAIIAN VACATION HOMES.
