President Barack Obama is torn between the competing interests of two major supporters.  One, the Democrat Governor of Massachusetts and early campaign supporter Deval Patrick to build a windfarm off the coast of Cape Cod; the other, Senator Edward Kennedy whose ocean view would be changed by the proposed renewable facility.  In an article posted on Brietbart.com, it is clear that the roadmap to renewable energy has many tears, regardless of the political party.

If the President is set on spending trillions of dollars in stimulus over the next two years,  he ought to invest in infrastructure that will secure our energy independence.  This project will be litmus test of that intention.

Perhaps windmills will annoy elites with ocean front property–similar things must have occurred when Eisenhower built out the national highway system.  Good for Obama is that allowing this project to proceed will have the double benefit of securing renewable energy, and snubbing a special intrest group…if it gets approved.
