Gone with the wind

The rich may be moaning about wind turbines ruining their coastal views on Cape Cod, but in Delaware, citizens are ardently battling politicians -- and the coal industry -- to build the nation's largest offshore wind park.

    Save our sound (SOS)!!!

    I am not rich, but I am definitely against the wind farm destroying Nantucket Sound. This isn't about a bunch of richies riches protecting their ocean views. It's about ALL people in the area wanting to protect something beautiful...a part of nature that SHOULDN'T be for sale.

    Let's be honest. The wind farm won't produce a substantial amount of energy (about 1% -- woo hoo, not!) or savings (10 cents for the average resident), but it will line the pockets of those at Cape Wind who put it in place (over $70M). The wind farm will also have a serious impact on the fishing and tourism industries. Has anyone even thought about the ecological effects?

    I am sick of corporations like Cape Wind pretending they care about people and the environment when they don't. This is a corproate takeover of Horseshoe Shoal. Environmentalists, don't be fooled by these jerks! For the truth, visit www.saveoursound.org. There are better alternatives than Cape Wind!!!

    —Cape resident
