Ted Kennedy Wants Windmills Killed

Self-proclaimed alternative energy proponent Sen. Ted Kennedy has strongly opposed an environmentally friendly "wind farm” off the coast of Massachusetts – and now it appears Kennedy will have his way.

A proposal before Congress would limit the construction of wind turbines and most likely doom plans for the Cape Wind Project, the nation’s first offshore wind farm. [Editor’s Note: Read the book that first exposed Sen. Kennedy’s hypocrisy -- Go Here Now.]

"This is a dire moment for us,” declared Mark Rodgers, a Cape Wind Associates spokesman, who said the proposal "would be totally fatal” for the project.

The Cape Wind Project would erect 130 windmills in Nantucket Sound and could provide three-fourths of the power needed by Cape Cod and nearby islands, which is now largely supplied by coal-fired plants.

But Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska, chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, has called for a ban on all wind turbines within 1.5 nautical miles of shipping and ferry lanes, The Washington Post reports.

Hypocrite Kennedy strikes again.

Ted Kennedy Wants Windmills Killed

Well, that's better than young female assistants.

[Brilliant]

Teddy Kennedy tilting at windmills again....

[BenLurkin]

Perhaps he could take them for a midnight ride in his Oldsmobile.

[xkaydet65]

Kill windmills??? He should have the same luck as Don Quixote

[Fawn]

What a jerk. He can't even come with "it kills too many birds" or some other rational reasoning? He's a slob.

Well, that's better than young female assistants.

You'd think he'd want to diddle one first.

[FrPR]

Worried they'll dismast VICTURA.

[dblshot]

Too bad, those windmills should spin like tops with that windbag only six miles away.

IF "Mr. Education" can consign poor black kids to hell in ghetto schools, do you think he loses any sleep over denying (once again) the nation some badly needed energy resources?

[Petronski]

Ted Kennedy Wants Windmills Killed

Why doesn't he just drown the damn things? That's his way after all...

[camle]

save the whales, kill the windmills?

[Liberty Valance]

You knew this would happen. It's Massachusettes. They love coal miners in Virginia risking their lives to power their blenders.

[cotton1706]

Yup, and he got RINO Young to help him. Can't have nuclear, can't burn wood, coal, gas, or oil. Can't have wind farms. But keep the energy subsidies coming. Why do I keep living in this state?

[kjo]

I look forward to SIXTY MINUTES investigating the Senator on this.

Not.

Ted Kennedy Wants Windmills Killed

Can he fit any in his Olds?

[tioga]

NIMBY....

[VOA]

History of The Kennedy Environmental Crime Family is covered in
"Do As I Say (Not As I Do)" by Peter Schweizer.

Heck of a fun read; covers the hidden sins of lot of lefties

[stop_fascism]

Is he going to take them for a drive?

[bert]

Don't dis Don Quixote....... he was the original conservative striving to replace the chivalry usurped by the changing times and bad morals.

[BigBobber]

Well, it looks like this blow hard doesn't really believe Global Warming will have dire consequences after all. Otherwise he would be all over this.

Liars. Every Democrat is a baldfaced liar.

One of Alaska's Princes of Pork does even more damage, once again.

"the nation’s first offshore wind farm."

I guess Teddy Kennedy is the nation's first on-shore wind farm...

[tracer]

Given his physical stature and his output of wind at his two ends, Kennedy could be considered a self-hating windmill.....

[MikeA]

Ted Kennedy Wants Windmills Killed

Does that mean he'll be taking them on a drive that involves going over a bridge?

[massgopguy]

Duke Energy, the owner of the Northeast and Maritimes Natural Gas pipeline wanted the Wind Farm killed. They're a "special interest group" for those of you in Rio Linda.

[Kitten Festival]

What a fraud. But cheap oil from Hugo Chavez suits him just fine. Nothing to stop the obligation to Hugo!

[Liberty Valance]

figures

[Mark]

I guess I would be dreaming if Cape Wind Project could push for eminant domain legislation to kick the Kennedy clan out of their massive estates, paying 30% of value, tear down their mansions and build their wind farms.

Oh well that felt good for a moment.

[jamaksin]

Better known as the Kennedy Republic of Taxachusetts - also, locally as the Swimmer's Fiefdom.

[Kenny Bunk]

Thought Victura burned up in the fire at Cropsby'sYard?

[AFreeBird]

, and he got RINO Young to help him

I noticed that too. But according to the article....

But Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska, chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, has called for a ban on all wind turbines within 1.5 nautical miles of shipping and ferry lanes,...

If that's his only reason; on first blush, it doesn't sound too unreasonable from a navagational saftey point of view.

[Kenny Bunk]

Anyway, as I tirelessly point out (as Bibendum says)they got a good sized windfarm on Nashawena don't seem to be hurting anyone.

But wind is passé ever since Lewinsky's book come out.

The Future of Low-Head Hydro in Norumbega.

[cotton1706]

He would be against it if the turbines were 15 miles out. From the shore they look a quarter inch high. That will not interferw with any shipping or ferry lanes. This is same guy who came up the the highway bill, in which a congressman from MA prevented a bridge from being demolished, thus stopping an LNG site from being started. This is all a political game because they don't want to address this stuff honestly.

[llevrok]

The bozo spews enough hot air that I am sure he can be designated as a co-generation plant all on his own....

[ncountylee]

If that's his only reason; on first blush, it doesn't sound too unreasonable from a navagational saftey point of view.

The report Young cites only calls for a 1/2 mile buffer zone.

[muir_redwoods]

So Kennedy wants to kill something off the coast of Massachusetts again? Really?

[maggief]

[oldenuff2no]

Ted should be getting out of prison about now!!!!!
This puke is a murderer!!!!
It any one of us had killed Mary Jo we would have done some heavy time!!!!!

[chiefqc]

The drunk says "Anywhere but not within my line of vision".

[Alex Murphy]

Ted doesn't want anything that blows air harder than he does...

[tracer]

He'll turnthem into water-driven grist mills to grind grain fuel his family's traditional bootleg whiskey stills.....

[pointsal]

zingggggggggg! that hurts....

[wolfcreek]

I had the pleasure of eating with a group of conservatives and 1 Liberal trial lawyer this weekend. When the conversation move to the Cheney mishap, she was not too happy about the references to Teddy boy and his driving abilities. I was in the midst of pounding her about other Liberal ideas when, my Wife gave me a kick under the table to shut me up.

[puppypusher]

All the more reason to build them anyway. I can't think of a better way then to stick it up that slobs rear-end then to build those windmills.

[buffyt]

Well all he has to do is fit them into his car and drive off a bridge.

[buffyt]

That is an EXCELLENT BOOK!

[VOA]

What I couldn't believe was finding that The Kennedys had holdings
"in the oil patch" (well, at least in past years).
No wonder they fight nuclear plants and drilling in ANWR tooth-'n-nail.
The Kennedys want $1000/barrel oil for their own interests.
(That is, assuming they are still into some oil sector investing)
