Kennedy supports a massive solar and wind power program across the country. Those wind and solar farms could create hundreds of thousands of new jobs and gradually wean us off the noxious corruption of big oil. That is exactly what we need. ALmost all of the farms should be located in remote desert type areas away from migratory birds. Mitt Romney led the fight to stop the Cape wind farm. He was governor, not Kennedy. So it was a bi-partisan concensus. Romney is also from a rich old family, but he cares far less for the workingclass than Kennedy does. Therein lies the difference. Romney is also a hypocrite on the gay and illegal immigration issues, like most rich Republicans who make money off illegals and have plenty of gays in their own closets.

The coast of Wales is a desolate place. Nantucket is not. In fact it's probably the most expensive real estate in New England and home to a large tourist industry including thousands of yachtsmen (most of whom are rich Republicans). The desolate coast of Wales definitely has far fewer migratory birds than the Nantucket sound. Plus very few yachtsmen. On Nantucket many of the wetlands and moors have been very well preserved. It's a huge mecca for migratory birds. If you have a problem with it though, write Mitt Romney. He stopped it. Not Kennedy. How about a wind farm off the coast of Kennebunkport? The "environmental president" Bush should support that. Bottomline, tough to do wind farms in high populated areas, in migratory bird pathways or right next to extremely expensive real estate. But there re millions of acres across the country which would be perfect.
