Reply #16: I See The DU Circular Firing Squad Is In Formation [View All]

Just because, in my opinion, he appears to be coming down on the wrong side of this issue does not discount the good work he is doing in other areas.

Just because he is fairly well off and drives an SUV does not discount the good work he is doing in other areas.

I feel that he has a point regarding protection of historic and natural areas. Also, as far as I am concerned, the energy company’s claim of minimal visual impact falls flat as evidenced by their own simulations (see pictures below). If I was a landowner, I could see those who are not aware of our dire energy predicament being pissed.

OTOH, what really makes the Cape area unique. If it where not for the historic structures, it would be just another stretch of seafront. This is not Yellowstone, Glacier or Yosemite. I see no way this wind farm will adversely impact these historic structures. I would have hoped that enlightened liberals would accept the sacrifice of their view for a clean, renewable energy source.

So, yes, he is probably coming down on the wrong side of garden variety NIMBY. You can leave me out of the lynching, though.
