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.

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

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

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?

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

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?

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
