After nine years of exhaustive regulatory review the federal government finally gave the green light to establishing the first offshore wind farm at Massachusetts Cape Code area. The federal government had been fighting powerful groups of politicians and environmental groups who opposed this measure, but I find it a bit odd that those who oppose it are the same ones clamoring for more renewable energy.
This rings of hypocrisy and elitism of the highest order! Everyone screams that we need to invest in more renewable energy, but as soon as it is proposed in their area they find every excusable reason to block the implementation of this renewable energy source.
The argument ring hollow from those that oppose this wind farm! The Kennedy’s didn’t want to look out from there multi-million compound on the prestigious shores of Cape Code to view a Wind Farm, but cited this is a giveaway to developers. Yea Right! Newly elected Senator Scott Brown argument that this would hinder tourism and boating, well how much energy is expended that harms the environment from all those tourist and boaters?
Last week was the fortieth anniversary of “Earth Day” and we still have supporters of the environment espouse renewable energy but as long as it’s in someone else's backyard, which means the middle class or working class people of this country.
The elitist from Washington and the entertainment industry rail against the energy companies but they then live a lifestyle that is arrogant and hypocritical of what they say in public.
If you believe in renewable energy then let your actions speak loader than your words!
