We have an offshore wind gap! Sounds kind of like the missile gap!

1. In Europe there are few on shore locations available

2. Remember when Kennedy was against one of the Mass coast as he might be able to barely see it from his summer home – the Nantucket project possibly.

3. Feinstein has a summer home where she is worried about the view as well maybe?

These ‘overwhelming environmental impacts’ are a figment of an overactive political mind. The ‘excess’ profit can easily be handled in setting the allowable rates.

They point out that besides the overwhelming environmental impacts, Con Ed stands to gain too much profit once the capitol costs are met. Feinstein is sponsoring a bill to prevent these harmful windfarms from being built everywhere. Contact her office and let your objections be heard.
