I keep thinking we'll see him in some dance competition - and sadly - not know who he is.

Salazar: Eastern wind could replace coal for power

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. – Windmills off the East Coast could generate enough electricity to replace most, if not all, the coal-fired power plants in the United States, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said Monday.
" Sen. Ted Kennedy and many residents who own coastal property from where they could see the wind turbines on a clear day oppose the project along with some environmental groups concerned about disrupting the patterns of migratory birds and the potential effect on local sea life."
Has uncle Teddy come around to Obama's way of thinking on this matter ?

Not to be too crass, but maybe his successor will have a different viewpoint on the matter.

Does his successor live with in eye sight of the proposed wind farm?
Not to be morbid or disrespectful, in the least, but I do find it curious, that so many Democrats vilify 'big oil', but when it comes to do something about energy and cutting dependency on foreign powers, they adopt the attitude of "not in my back yard! " as their battle cry.

Probably one would not want to set up hydrothermal generation units in Yellowstone. Or put up large solar units in Zion National Park. Or like Niagara Falls, one would like to limit the visual impact of whatever you do to generate electricity - when dealing with a natural wonder.
There are probably better sites to put up wind generating units than the ones selected for the Cape Wind project. It is reasonable to support offshore wind power and not support one particular project. It is possible to be an environmentalist and not support every single instance of alternative energy - with good cause.

I love those wind turbines. I think they're pretty.
If it weren't for the noise or the possibly dangerous electric field they generate, I wouldn't be opposed to living in one.

I've always wanted to live in a lighthouse myself.
I wonder if it would be similar.

Fun to look at, I'd imagine, but do they really pose such a slaughter threat to migratory birds as the environmentalist say ?

Can't help ya on that one, because I'm not one of those Democrats. I *want* the wind turbines in my back yard. Literally, IN MY BACK YARD. Why? Because they're paying some pretty decent royalties for being allowed to put them up. And you get free electricity, which is nice. So bring 'em on - PLEASE put one in my backyard!

Just lying smiling in the dark,
Shooting stars around your heart,
Dreams come bouncing in your head
pure and simple every time.
Now you're crying in your sleep;
I wish you'd never learnt to weep.
Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
pure and simple every time.
