Senator Windbag Versus Renewable Wind PowerTed Kennedy's hypocrisy is just wonderful.
As record oil prices turn attention to the need for renewable fuels, momentum is building in Congress to buck Senator Edward M. Kennedy's bid to block the proposed Cape Cod wind energy project, potentially reviving efforts to construct the sprawling windmill farm in Nantucket Sound...It's outrageous for Senator Kennedy to put business interests ahead of environmental concerns. He worships the almighty dollar at the expense of our fragile and delicate ecosystem. He must be stopped or else the Earth we leave our children will be nothing but a polluted, barren land. Yada yada yada.Kennedy rejected suggestions that he doesn't like the wind farm because it would be near his Cape home, and said the project probably wouldn't be visible from the Kennedy compound. He said he's against the project because it would create a range of environmental and navigational problems and would hurt tourism, one of the area's key industries.

Your mockery is a bit strained, although apt, but what does the Cape Wind project have to do with oil prices? Wind turbines produce electricity. Oil is used for transportation and heat.
