Robert Kennedy, Jr. speaks tonight, in New Bedford. Kennedy is founder of WaterKeepers, an environmental attorney, and a critic
of the proposed Cape Wind project will be speaking tonight at 7 pm at the Zeiterion Theater (684 Purchase St. New Bedford, MA)
This talk kicks off the annual east coast Bioneers event, a conference of environmental activists and authors:
The topic of the talk was not announced but we can assume he’ll discuss current environmental imperatives and issues of siting renewable energy systems
If you are not busy why not drop by and ask him why he doesn’t support renewable energy on the Cape. See if you can get him to admit he is just doing it so he wont have to look at them, consider it a fun game.
I am pretty happy with Robert Kennedy Jr. on most topics, but his blatent NIMBYism about Cape Wind has just been horrible. People want this wind farm, and it has been determined that it wont cause environmental harm, so I am really at a loss as to why he is still against it. I am sure it has nothing to do with his view, or the fact that Ted Kennedy hates the idea of having to pilot his yacht around the wind towers…
Right on. Spot on. Ditto. Amen. You said it. Damn straight, etc.
Hi Guys —
Yes, that talk will be interesting. Too bad I’m too busy to go.
I hope people do ask him about Cape Wind.
But there’s a larger issue I’d like to caution people about. If this guy has been so capable of consistently lying about Cape Wind for six years — and yes, in his case, “lie” is a fair word — what else is he not telling the truth about?
To me, his attitude smacks of demagoguery. And I think that’s dangerous to our democracy, whether it comes from the right or from the left.
Democracy, you know, is not a robust form of government. It’s quite fragile. And we little people have to protect it always from those who would perfer to mislead us and take us down the wrong path.
Hope you all have fun.
Wendy
Wendy, your book is a lie. You consistently attempt to make this into a class war. Shame on you. Were you denied access to those you attempted to rub elbows with? Hell hath no fury like a social climber scorned!
