Reply #19: If he were arguing to put them in someone else's backyard [View All]

- a view that the someone else's were equally intent on preserving - then that would be one thing.

He notes:

"Scotland is preparing to build wind turbines in the Moray Firth more than 12 miles offshore. Germany is considering placing turbines as far as 27 miles off its northern shores.

If Cape Wind were to place its project further offshore, it could build not just 130, but thousands of windmills - where they can make a real difference in the battle against global warming without endangering the birds or impoverishing the experience of millions of tourists and residents and fishing families who rely on the sound's unspoiled bounties."


I am just someone who likes to visit various beaches now and then - including Cape Cod - and I like to be able to look out to see the horizon without looking at a bunch of crap. So that is my "self-interest". If the wind turbines could be situated 27 miles out - so that they are not in view of the shoreline - like Germany is considering - that would seem like a good thing. It figures that people in Europe would be able to come up with a reasonable solution - what the hell is the matter with us? Sounds like pig-headedness to me.


Maybe other people don't get FSTV and UCTV and LINK TV that has shown RFKjr. giving speeches on the environment, factory farms and various other things. As far as I'm concerned he is the best spokesperson I have heard on the environment in about 10 years. Too bad he's not GOD. Sheesh.
