Ted Kennedy An Enviromental Hypocrite?
I knew about this from my English Professor, who assigned my class to critique a New Republic article that mentioned the subject, but here is an excellent bashing of Sen. Ted "Quagmire" Kennedy on his opposition of the Cape Wind Project, which would damage the view from his really expensive estate. Yes, even the great Ted Kennedy falls to NIMBY.
An astounding 17 governmental agencies are involved in reviewing this project, all but ensuring that if Cape Wind is ever built, it will be years down the road. How does the environment benefit from Ted Kennedy stalling or killing a wind power project?
Apparently preserving the environment goes out the window if it interferes with views from the Kennedy compound.So what type of power production do they support? Traditional, polluting, plants that use coal? Or do they think a tiny magic energy cube will soon be invented to take care of the world's electrical needs?
This proves once again that those in government on the Leftlove the enviroment a political advantage that lines up with its constituentcy's beliefs.
