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.

Spare taxpayers these useless anti-wind suits

It was at any one of a number of public hearings about the Cape Wind project that I saw an acquaintance from West Dennis. I said to him, "Do you remember when you were helping to form the Village Library Association, and I was a member of the Friends of the Dennis Public Library? The whole controversy about building a true public library in Dennisport? And how that would mean the end of the village libraries, and the collapse of the small local groups that support them? And how now, that the Dennis Public Library is built, it's meant that all the little village libraries are doing better than ever, and we also have a new public facility?"
He replied cautiously that he did indeed remember. "I have the same feeling about Cape Wind that I did about the public library then — that it's a good idea, and after the controversy clears, we'll all benefit and be grateful that it's built — just like the library."
