You can't have a windmill farm blocking the Kennedy compound's view of Nantucket Sound...

CNSNews.com) – Massachusetts taxpayers are stuck with a $113 million marine terminal started by former Gov. Deval Patrick as a construction staging area for a failed wind farm project that was supposed to provide clean energy and hundreds of jobs for the state's residents.

Touted as “America’s first offshore wind farm,” Cape Wind planned to erect 130 Siemens wind turbines five miles off the coast of Cape Cod and harness the strong winds blowing through Nantucket Sound to produce electricity.

But the $2.6 billion project’s contracts with the state’s two largest utilities were terminated in January after Cape Wind missed its December 31 financing deadline and refused to provide the collateral needed to extend it.

Last July, Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz heralded Cape Wind, which was awarded a $150 million loan guarantee by his department, as the beginning of “a strong U.S. offshore wind industry.”

“With this agreement and with the investments we have made in infrastructure like the South Coast Marine Commerce Terminal, we have positioned Massachusetts as a first-in-the-nation hub for a new offshore wind industry that will bring jobs and a clean source of Massachusetts-made energy for future generations,” Patrick said last September when he announced a lease agreement for the terminal.

“I am very happy Cape Wind will be built in New Bedford…
Governor Patrick’s administration deserves credit for its work to support this project and to make Massachusetts a leader in clean energy,” echoed Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), just three months before the wind farm project collapsed.

The project faced stiff opposition from local communities and wealthy residents ranging from the late Sen. Ted Kennedy to billionaire William Koch, both of whom had family compounds on Cape Cod.

Kinda like the Big Dig in Boston and Solyndra, the leftist agenda keeps taking it on the chin.

But the LIVs just don't seem to get it. They line up behind the Barney Franks and Deval Patricks and the rest of the Kennedy regime, not to mention John F'n Kerry and his lunacy on the Bay State and its clueless, hapless residents.

Barney loves it when people line up behind him.

This is why Massachusetts can't have nice things.

You would think after long enough of being treated to a daily harangue of little people abuse, the little people would get tired of it.
Maybe they're masochists and like being abused.
