We should be outraged over the billions of tax dollars of energy subsidies that Congress doles out to mature polluting industries, not over the modest support it gives to renewable power.

Now is the time for Cape Wind Friday, November 20, 2009
Today in the NY Times, there's an exciting article about efforts to develop deepwater, floating wind turbines. The article makes it clear that there are still engineering and major costs hurdles, but I'm hopeful that one day floating wind farms will provide bountiful zero-carbon electricity. But we have to get started today, and fortunately we can. The Cape Wind project proposed for Nantucket Sound is ready to be built now.
