Yeah, build those damn wind generators far away where the rabble live, just like the rest of the infrastructure that supports his lifestyle.

Uh huh. You didn't read the whole thing, or in your Kennedy hating zeal, you missed the end. Which bat-shit blog squirted you this suppository of wisdom?

There are many alternatives that would achieve the same benefits as Cape Wind without destroying this national treasure. Deep water technology is rapidly evolving, promising huge bounties of wind energy with fewer environmental and economic consequences. Scotland is preparing to build wind turbines in the Moray Firth more than 12 miles offshore. Germany is considering placing turbines as far as 27 miles off its northern shores.

If Cape Wind were to place its project further offshore, it could build not just 130, but thousands of windmills - where they can make a real difference in the battle against global warming without endangering the birds or impoverishing the experience of millions of tourists and residents and fishing families who rely on the sound's unspoiled bounties.
