Cape Wind Won’t Help at the Gas Pump

As I pulled up to the pump last weekend and emptied my wallet for $4.35-a-gallon gas, I thought what a shame it is that we aren’t doing more to lessen our dependence on imported oil. For almost 40 years we have been talking — but not doing — anything significant to solve the problem. Alternate energy is clearly one answer. What about projects like Cape Wind in Nantucket Sound? Shouldn’t we allow it to be built to help us become energy independent? On reflection, the answer is a resounding no.
