So you're saying that government incentives to business are a liberal idea?

I thinks Wind Farms should be installed and that we are missing the boat. Just do so in a way that won't wreck the fishing. I'd even be OK for doing them on Monomoy provided they blades also thing out the seals and seagulls

I also think that Spence has yet again made something twisted political or is that political twisted

Build it ..

Not at all, just questioning Swimmer's assertion that this was a MA thing. They give incentives to oil companies down south to drill under the ocean. What's the diff?

I'd be more concerned with how practical wind farms really are.

I think wind farms are pretty practical. Most of the issues with wind farms (other than direct impact on the local area) are concerns of efficiency. How efficient and consistent is the power generation? Well efficiency has come a long way and look at the recent costs of fossil fuels. Consistency comes from having more farms spread out geographically so that lack of wind in one area is balanced by higher sustained winds at that particular time in another.
