Wind farms are a good idea. They provide long-term affordable and renewable energy.

He probably has a deal in the works to set a windmill up on his lower lip. He'll make a fortune with all the hot air blowing across his gums.

Perhaps there is some new evidence that they are not economically viable so they would never be built in the first place.

He is reported to have said that he will allow the Coast Guard to decide whether it should be built.

The Coast Guard has replied that "there's no way, no how gonna be any wind farms in, on, around, on top, or underneath the Nantucket Sound now or ever, thanks for asking".

If Kennedy has dropped his opposition, rest assured that the proposed project is dead.

He's dropping it, alright. Like dropping the chicken after having wrung it's neck. Now that it's safely dead.

The last mean-spirited attempt by the heirs to the bootlegging fortune to block the construction involved ship traffic, perhaps that's the Coast Guard connection; before that, it was seagulls might get killed -- if the seagulls die as a result of being a passenger in Ted's car, now that would be different...

And in other news, Ted Kennedy has announced that the entire Coast Guard budget is up for review.
Kennedy said, "Some have said that the Coast Guard is not needed anymore. I don't personally believe this, but out of respect to those of other beliefs, we will at least take a look"

Bet your life that he already has paid off somebody else to kill this thing so that he can now claim to be 'all in favor' of it. Kennedy isn't stupid, just venal and hopelessly corrupt.

The Coast Guard decides such things? Call me cynical, but it seems more likely that he has secured assurances rom others that they will block the wind farm for him.

I think the Coast Guard's involvement is to determine if the proposed wind farm would be a hazard to navigation in the area. Unfortunately, I agree with you that this probably means the fix is in.
