This Salon article is simply infuriating. As bad as it is when the Kennedys try to deep-six offshore wind power in Cape Cod for absolutely no good reason, it's worse to me when the government clearly discriminates against wind power and other renewables while lacking a single good reason to do so.
The proposed wind development is cleaner, cheaper, as reliable, and less pie-in-the-sky than the proposed coal-fired alternative (seriously, read the article) but the (Democratic!) governor seems to be ready to go with coal anyway. Anyone who can make some sense of this madness is requested to do so in comments.
