This sort of thing always disappoints me! Talking about Robert F. Kennedy in the National Post - the great enviro-defender telling Torontonians what they should be doing with their waterfront....

"If reporters had probed deeper, they might have noticed the Kennedy halo is tarnished with hypocrisy. In Massachusetts, he is fiercely fighting the construction of wind turbines in Nantucket Sound, playground of the playboy Kennedys.

The Cape Wind project would be North America's biggest clean renewable energy project, eventually providing 75% of the electrical needs of the Cape Cod region. Mr. Kennedy doesn't like the idea because the 130 wind turbines will ruin the views from his seaside mansion. He may be a tree hugger elsewhere, but when it comes to windmills in the waves, his answer is a definite NIMBY (Not In My Backyard.)"

Don't ya just love the hypocrisy!!! Up with the wind turbines!!!
