But don't you realize, that's where I sail!

The above statement was uttered by Ted Kennedy. See, there has been a plan since 2001 to build a wind farm in the ocean off the coast of Massachusetts. Normally, a good democrat like Kennedy would be likely to support alternative energy. The problem is, Kennedy will be able to see this windfarm from his house. This would give him, and the other millionaire and billionaires that live in the area, a less than picture perfect view.
A group was formed to protect the "environment", but the government has just said that the windfarm would not have any major environmental impacts.
Personally, I have no problem with Kennedy being against the windfarm, except for one little thing. He is for windfarms, and has stated such. He is simply a hypocrite.
It may be time for Kennedy to get used to the idea of a windfarm, since it is likely that Obama will be for the project.  If you heard the inaugural speech today, it is likely that Cape Cod will get a new wind farm.
Will it save the world from global warming? No. 
Does the fact that Kennedy has been fighting this for years only because it is in his backyard make me laugh?  Yes.
