p> DRIVING MR. KERRY br> Re: George Neumayr's Kerry Gasses : /p>

George Neumayr brings up a fantastic new area to press John Kerry on with respect to developing renewable resources. Here in Massachusetts, there's a project called Cape Wind on the table that would place 130 wind turbines in Nantucket Sound and take 3/4 of Cape Cod off the electric grid with the exact cheap, clean, renewable energy that Kerry is so much in favor of. What a great opportunity for Kerry to put his money where his mouth is and talk up his support for what would be the first offshore wind farm in America. A lay-up, right? Well, not exactly.

Because of a preponderance of the same "beautiful people" that typically support the Democratic Party are also the wealthy oceanfront property owners, this is turned into a classic "nimby" issue. And considering that one of the largest property owners is also the senior senator here in Massachusetts, Ted Kennedy, you can see that this issue would be better off swept under the rug.

p>A deliciously classic example of Kerry talking up a storm, and when opportunity knocks doing nothing in the name of furthering his political career. I think getting Kerry in a corner on this one would be a candidate for the flip-flop hall of fame. br> -- William H. Stewart br> Boston, Massachusetts /p> p> Wanted to let you know that last week there was a film clip on one of the news shows of John Kerry getting into a Chevy Suburban or GMC Yukon. I guess that he wants all of us to give up our big SUV's and drive electric cars. Maybe he wants to have the whole road to himself in his Suburban. br> --
