  Really?

  You'd think that someone who wants a leadership role in the Energy and Air Quality Subcommittee would take a stance on Cape Wind, the the largest proposed off-shore wind farm in the US, which would be off the coast of Markey's home state. It's been tied up for 8 years now in the permitting process thanks to the likes of Bill Koch and Ted Kennedy, and it should've been built ages ago. Everyone knows it, but they're still too afraid to stand up to Kennedy, and oil baron Koch has more than enough money to throw around to spread misinformation about it.

  Markey's line has consistently been that there's not enough information about the windfarm's effects or effectiveness (despite the years of research), yet he jumps at supporting the deep water proposal from Blue H, which would use expensive technology that has never been used before?

  Typical politician. And groups like PIRG are too afraid to stand up to him on this, even though they support Cape Wind, because they don't want to upset a man they see as an ally by telling him to man up and take a position.
  It's all politics. And Markey should do the right thing and support Cape Wind.On Markey to replace Boucher as chair of Energy and Air Quality Subcommittee? posted 10 months, 4 weeks ago 2 Responses
