The first step in socially and environmentally responsible living is to make it happen because it needs to be done and it can be done.

As long as Teddy Kennedy sits on his horse's you-know-what and prevents that windfarm in Nantucket from being built (so Cape Cod gets its power from the diesel generator) I know liberals don't take global warming seriously. All because it would spoil Teddy's view.

I am paying about $1,500 for tinted windows in my home so I can use less electricity.

Anyone who's ever seen the 2004 documentary 'Oil On Ice' knows that Global warming is a very big threat.

If you haven't seen this movie, please rent or buy it. It's very good.

Daniel I can promise you this liberal takes Global warming very seriously. I can't speak for others, but I've been listening to the warnings that scientists have been giving for decades.

I can not understand the Kennedy's reaction to that Wind-Mill off of the Cape. Totally unacceptable.

It just shows that Kennedy is not on board in the fight for alternative energy.

oh the kennedy clan along with some other very wealthy people are up set because you can see the wind turbines from their homes .....if it was located were only the poor could see the dots on the ohrizan they would be coool with it for mass ...........

and i must say ...........i live here in germany and they are everywhere the turbines that is and they to take away from the beauty of the landscape ....but they are needed .......so i can understand not wanting to see them in the distance of what is a very very posh neighborhood ......BUT THEY ARE NEEDED SO YA GOTTA ADJUST .........SO TEDDY SUCK IT UP ......
