With the patron saint of submerged Oldsmobiles gone who is left to fight the good fight against the encroaching of green energy wind turbines into the pristine views of the elite of Massachusetts? Well, accoring to the NYT it is the oppressed Native Americans of Martha's Vineyard:
Our View is Obstructed By the Proposal and This Whole Bloody Island
As a resident of the wide open spaces of Texas, I've seen what those damned wind turbine farms look like. I don't like them at all. They are huge and lack totally the charms of La Mancha's faux dragons for Don Quixote to tilt at. They are noisy, ugly and inefficient. Seeing one of the complexes will usually stun you with the unreliability of the things. At least a third of them will always be unfunctional. They are expensive and they don't do much generating either.
But what's up with this tribe? They claim a need to "unobstructed view" but a check of the map shows that they are on the wrong side of Martha's Vineyard to see the sun rise. They claim "sacred grounds" but it has been underwater for centuries. They hypocritically claim that their tradition mandates an unobstructed view but that doesn't sound like a legacy of generations of oral history carried forth. It's simply too legalistic.
The hypocrisy of the Greenies in demanding these defacings occur in someone else's neighborhood defies my belief.
