WIND TURBINE ON CAPE COD DRIVING NEIGHBORS CRAZY AT NIGHT

CAPE COD CLEAN ENERGY

                           NOW THAT'S BIG NEWS.  WINDFALL TELLS THE STORY OF A TOWN IN UPSTATE NEW YORK WHERE FARMERS ALLOW GIGANTIC WIND TURBINES TO BE PUT ON THEIR LAND BY AN IRISH WIND TURBINE MANUFACTURER.  CHANGE THE RURAL AREA NOT NECESSARILY FOR THE BETTER.  NO ONE REALIZED THEIR IMPACT ON THE LANDSCAPE OR LIFE OF THE RESIDENTS.  IT BECOMES THE HATFIELD AND MCCOYS PRACTICALLY AS PRO AND CON WIND FARMS DUKE IT OUT.  SOME REGRET THE WINDFALL OF MONEY THEY RECEIVED FOR ALLOWING A WINDFARM ON THEIR FARM.
                             TURBINES CAN BE THE SIZE OF THE STATUE OF LIBERTY.   THAT'S BIG,NOISY AND INTRUSIVE TO THE LANDSCAPE AND LIFE OF THE INHABITANTS.  THE CANADIAN FILM MAKER TOLD THEIR STORY.  IT WON THE FESTIVAL BEST DOCUMENTARY PRIZE IN A TOWN THAT HAS PROMOTED CLEAN ENERGY ESPECIALLY WIND TURBINES .  MEANWHILE WOODS HOLE'S NEIGHBOR'S IN HYANNIS ON NANTUCKET SOUND HAVE BEEN FIGHTING IT VOCIFEROUSLY.  TED KENNNEDY'S FUNERAL WAS A TESTAMENT TO THE LOVE OF PEOPLE FOR NANTUCKET SOUND.  ALL THE KENNEDY'S SPOKE OF THEIR LOVE OF THE SEA WHEN EULOGIZING ED WHO LOVED TO SAIL ON THE SOUND.  HE SPOKE OFTEN AGAINST THE 135 TURBINES MANUFACTURED BY A GERMAN COMPANY APPROVED TO BE BUILT OFF NANTUCKET.   ROBERT KENNEDY JR.  RECENTLY WROTE IN THE WALL STREET JOURNAL OPPOSING THE 135 TURBINES IN THE PRISTINE NANTUCKET SOUND.
                       PRESIDENT OBAMA AND MANY DEMOCRATS SUPPORT THE WINDFALL FROM THESE WINDFARMS.  THEY SEE IT A A SOURCE OF CLEAN ENERGY,LESS DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL AND AS A GOOD INDUSTRY FOR THE US ECONOMY.  SO WHO CARES ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE PEOPLE, KEEP THOSE CONSTRUCTION UNIONS,GREEN POWER RADICALS AND CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES HAPPY.  WE MUST SACRIFICE THE SEA FOR THE GOOD OF MAN.  WOULDN'T SOLAR PANELS ON EVERY HOUSE IN THE USA BE LESS OBSTRUSIVE?  BIG BUSINESS NEEDS TO BUILD.  IF IT'S NOT A STADIUM TO REPLACE A PERFECTLY GOOD ONE ,IT'S A HOUSING DEVELOPMENT FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN'T AFFORD THE MORTGAGE.   THE PRESIDENT WILL VACATION ON A FARM ON MARTHA'S VINEYARD  SOON.  I HOPE HE'LL ENJOY THE HUM OF THE WIND TURBINES ON THE FARM'S FRONT LAWN.  WOULDN'T A SOLAR PANEL ON THE YUPPIE FARM HOUSE ROOF BE A LOT QUIETER.  PERHAPS HE'LL ENJOY TURBINE BUZZING SO MUCH, A CLEAN ENERGY TURBINE WILL BE PUT ON THE WHITE HOUSE LAWN.
