Alternative Energy as Campaign Issue Posted Oct 30th 2006 10:54AM by Richard Tenorio Filed under: Massachusetts Governor, Key Issues There's one issue in the Massachusetts governor's race that may turn out to have long-lasting significance for the nation: Alternative energy. Democrat Deval Patrick supports the Cape Wind project. The power harnessed by wind turbines on Nantucket Sound, he argues, would present a cheaper, environmentally-friendlier alternative to oil. The project has set off a nasty round of bickering among Cape residents, along with a surprise: Noted environmentalist (and Cape Cod resident) Sen. Ted Kennedy opposes Cape Wind. But alternative energy holds promise for Massachusetts. In a state that's losing residents, why not try to retain them by developing innovative technology that has the side benefit of aiding the environment? Our quest for oil, after all, has led to 100 deaths in Iraq this month. And oil bills are so high in Massachusetts that we need Hugo Chavez to help out. Time for a change.
