Not only have recent polls shown that the majority of people in both the State and the Cape want Cape Wind to be built, but now the opponents of Cape Wind the so called Alliance To Protect (the view from our mansions of) Nantucket Sound seems to be running low on the cash flow.

Their contributions dropped sharply last year, according to recently filed tax documents. Last year they raised 2 million, a lot of money, but when you consider that in 2004-5 they raised more than 4 million each year you can see that the very few mega rich that have been fighting this battle must know the fight is almost over. I suspect that when the file for 2007 we will see another large drop in funding.

It really is amazing how much money the Alliance has raised considering what they are fighting for. They are not trying to stop a wind farm, they are fighting FOR nuclear waste, smoke belching coal plants, and potentially explosive LNG terminals. They are big supports of global warming, oil spills, and wars in Iraq. They might not be doing these things consciously, but if you don’t get your energy from renewable sources, you are forced to use fossil or nuclear which bring all the problems we know so well (global warming, war, high gas prices,etc etc).

The Alliance is fighting a losing battle because they are fighting for the same old dirty technology that has failed to provide the answer so far. I can’t wait to see all 130 beautiful turbines spinning of the coast of Cape Cod providing 75% of the Capes power from clean renewable energy.
