January 7, 2014 New England

Over $100 million of high-road jobs are in the air — and they’re blowing north to Maine. After years of touting projected economic benefits to the commonwealth, Cape Wind and its turbine provider, Siemens, recently inked a $100 million-plus contract with Maine-based Cianbro Corp. to construct substantial elements of the offshore wind development planned for the Massachusetts coast.

Sorry Mattey. You’re on the wrong side. But you don’t care about Nantucket Sound, or the rest of the coast as these asshole try to industrialize the EEZ with junk. The Cape Wind Deal in Maine is a win.

The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet

It took me a while to decide how to most accurately describe the situation that has been visited upon the New England fishing communities that are and since colonial times have been dependent on the groundfish fisheries.

NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?

While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing. Hence the term “overfished.” Hence the mandated knee jerk reaction of the fisheries managers to not enough fish; cut back on fishing. What of other factors? They don’t count.
