Tribes: Cape Cod wind farm would destroy sacred ritual

From a blustery perch over a Cape Cod beach, Chuckie Green gestures toward a stretch of horizon where he says construction of the nation's first offshore wind farm would destroy his Indian tribe's religion.

[BOO HOO]

Flimsy excuse from a bunch of greedy redskins who have no problem bulldozing mother earth to build their megacasiinos

Since when did they open their arms and allow us in? If that's the case why are we letting them get away with murder now trying to make up for taking their land. We cater to these people's needs almost more than we cater to illegal immigrants. There is a special government organization designed to keep these people happy, I mean what else can we do to keep these people satisfied. So now there's going to be now wind farm off the Cape, the first location got shut down because it would have interferred with the Kennedy's even though they were all for clean enery, but when it comes as an inconvinence to them no way would it be allowed.

I'll bet if you offer them the chance to build another redneck haven (casino), they'd forget all about their rituals! It's all about the green..and it is quite ironic they are accusing someone else of profiteering.

What a crock.

[Bagdad Harry]

We let em build casinos...and now they want to take away our wind power...

[Taxes to the limit]

Lets put the GD wind farm on the Casino land and see what they have to say about that.

This is how the North American Indians celebrate Thanksgiving :

“Since 1970, Native Americans have gathered at noon on Cole’s Hill in Plymouth to commemorate a National Day of Mourning on the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday. Many Native Americans do not celebrate the arrival of the Pilgrims and other European settlers. To them, Thanksgiving Day is a reminder of the genocide of millions of their people, the theft of their lands, and the relentless assault on their culture. Participants in the National Day of Mourning honor Native ancestors and the struggles of Native peoples to survive today. It is a day of remembrance as well as a protest of the racism and oppression which Native Americans continue to experience.”

It should be brought to the attention of all our families during Thanksgiving that the Wampanoags say their spiritual greetings of the sun require unobstructed views and say commercial turbines in Nantucket Sound could disturb their ancestral burying grounds. The state of Massachusetts, the federal government and Cape Wind continue to strip the North American Indians of any rights they have left!

The Massachusetts native who helped found controversial wind-energy developers Cape Wind and First Wind expressed has been arrested and charged with fraud.

Its time to look at Massachusetts

1. The Governor Patrick 100 millon dollar Evergreen Solar scam at Ft Devans

2. The Attorney General Martha Coakley scam with former state rep Mark Howland from Bristol County who took millions of dollars through his wind turbine busines from residents ,his house burns to the groud less than thirty after the deal with the AG and moves to Hawaii (Oceanfront) no punishment.

3. The Massachusetts proposed Wind Energy Siting Reform Act takes our residential property rights away and puts all the former Big Dig contractors in the commercial wind turbine business.

4. The Massachusetts Technology Colaborative an unregulated ,semi quasi state agency needs its books at the boutique banks looked at !

5. A review of the Town of Dartmouth , Massachusetts and how two wind turbines were placed in wetland locations,lack of abutter notification, wind turbine consultants running the town Alternative Energy Committee with members of the Select Board on the AEC who vote on two boards . The ethics in Massaachusett government are gone

The country has evidently arrived at a point in its legal culture where no negative consequences seem to exist for making false or misleading claims to sell wind energy—the stuff dreams are made of. But industrial wind is a bunco scheme of enormous consequence. And people who value intellectual honesty should not quietly be fleeced by such mendacity, even from their government.

Stop the proposed Massachusetts Wind Energy Siting Reform Act !

The Indians in Alaska overwhelmingly support drilling for oil in their state.
