| #7 heh..heh...the "rich" of Nantucket get a cold dose of reality when they realize that when Kerry and Kennedy talk about those evil "rich", they failed to give them an exemption. "But..but...we vote Democrat - we are against ANWAR and Iraq - that means we are different. We're the OK kind of rich. For years we've been demanding that no one can build powerstations anywhere and instead demanded that 'they' develop clean sources of fuel. Hey! We're all for it. Just DO IT IN A NEIGHBORHOOD INFERIOR TO OURS!" |

| #6 Tom your MIL and I think alike. I just don't fool myself. I've always wanted a Nixonian airconditioner, one that could drop the temp to 55 in July so I could build a nice fire. |

| #5 My liberal mother-in-law was complaining last year about mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants, a subject on which she knows nothing more than what she read in one NYT article. I suggested that she could cut back on electricity use to help reduce the emissions. On my very next visit to her house, she had the central air conditioning going and she had a sliding door and about three windows open. Her response: she likes air conditioning AND fresh air. |

| #4 I think Billy Joel said it best in the song The Downeaster"Alexa". "Like all the locals here I've had to sell my home. Too proud to leave I worked my fingers to the bone" And at the end "but there ain't no island left for islanders like me" |

| #3 How about banning private jets and monster yachts in Nantucket? That would save even more energy. What, you scream that would cause extraordinary hardship for Nantuckians? |

| #2 It is NIMBY. This same stupid dip would have no problem putting that here. All the other stuff is a smoke screen. I bet the ass hat tosses Aluminum cans in the trash (the energy saved recycling one can will run a TV 3 hrs or a 60 watt light 6 hrs.) Build the damm windmills. Kennedy and Kerry can ESAD. |

| #1 I thought it had come a long long time ago. These guys always have a bunch of bogus statistics about how getting other people to cut back always produces more power, and that's their excuse for shutting down anything that could ever produce more power for real. Bah, humbug. |
