Dems Angry At Kennedy Over Cape Wind Fight

By Eric McErlain
The fight over Cape Wind is getting louder, with a number of traditional Democrats refusing to shy away from a fight with Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA). For more, click here.

We noted Greenpeace's new video last week. For more on opposition to wind power, click here.

And for more on Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s activities against Cape Wind, click here and here.

Thanks to Instapundit for the pointers.

Wind power produces electricity. Oil is used for transport and heat. Cape Wind has nothing to do with our escapades in the middle east.

In response to KM, Cape Wind would be the exception. The power produced would displace oil-fired generation.

Oil fuels about 16% of the electricity generation in Massachusetts (nationally it is 2.5%), and that oil is generally the sludge left over from gasoline refinement. Even if Cape Wind "displaced" some of that burning, it would not affect the demand (since it comes from gas) at all.

You are right, Jim, that the geopolitics of natural gas (which currently provides about 15% of our electricity) are following the same pattern as those for oil. My response that Cape Wind has nothing to do with our escapades in the middle east should have (was meant to have) been specifically limited to the "mineral slime" referred to by Paul.

All over the web, the Cape Wind issue is being linked with the high price of gasoline, which remains nonsense.
