Bumpkin on Cape Wind
Here’s a short audio clip of my call today in to Coffee Shop Talk – Adam Bond’s radio show. The guest today was Mark Rodgers – spokesman for Cape Wind.
I called in to ask Rodgers his thoughts on the T. Boone Pickens plan to turn the midsection of the United States into a major producer of electricity from wind farms. Part of the plan is to cut greenhouse emissions and foreign oil imports by diverting natural gas to fuel vehicles. In other words, the wind farm would replace some of the natural gas that is currently producing electricity. This gas would be then be used as vehicular fuel to help us reduce demand on foreign oil until technologies like hydrogen were more viable.
We were all pretty much in vehement agreement.
As far as Cape Wind goes. This is a no-brainer and should be done ASAP.

You are too funny you moutachioed, liquid dinosaur, you! Great questions, Excellent topic. Thanks for sharing.
Good comments, Bumpkin! I’m glad you raised the issues that T. Boone Pickens is raising. Here’s a Texas oil man telling you that we have reached Peak World Oil regardless of how much we continue to drill and that our current demand exceeds the supply.
Senator Pacheco did a presentation of the Climate Project at my request and commented on the potential feasibility of members of RGGI joining together to purchase CNG/LNG vehicles and the potential of driving down the costs in doing so.
Unfortunately, Gov. Romney prevented the Commonwealth from joining, participating and leading RGGI, which Gov. Patrick has done.
Green Communities is a beginning for the Commonwealth to lead, reduce/eliminate fossil fuel dependence, create permanent jobs and improve air quality by eliminating dirty power plants.
The answers are out there and it appears that with the price of oil predicted to be $200 per barrel by the end of the year, people will finally implement the necessary changes.
