BARBARA DURKIN – Your View: Cape Wind offers only empty promises so far. Spanks the communications manager of National Wildlife Federation
Her response to this drivel. Your View: Polluter blockade of New Bedford wind jobs finally falling continued
NWF makes jobs claims on behalf of Cape Wind that are unfounded. For 22 months, from April 1, 2011, to Dec. 31, 2012, the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center Wind Technology Testing Center has created zero jobs, according to the federal government’s Recovery Tracker. The MACEC ratepayer surcharge program is the source of the $13.2 million used to develop the testing center. The center also received a $2 million DOE grant, and funding by U.S. taxpayers through ARRA stimulus of $24.7 million. We have no jobs to show for our $40 million spent. continued

Stop the Cape Wind SCAM! They say the price is $2 billion? Where have we heard that before? It’s the Big Dig II and will end up costing $20 billion + and the electricity rate payers here will be paying the price for decades.
So true Philips66 about the GREEN ENERGY SCAM going on during the OBAMA-NATION administration. Cheap Green Energy from Cape Wind resulting in lower electricity rates to consumers over the long haul? Haha… If you want energy rates to immediately drop, then let the Keystone XL pipeline to be built, allow more continental oil drilling permits to be approved, and stop delaying hydraulic fracturing permits to be approved in states like NY. Boy the Cape Wind shills have met their match with Barbara Durkin.
