The Government Is Auctioning Off 742,000 Acres Of Ocean South Of The Vineyard

CCT – Four leases for 742,000 acres of sea south of Martha’s Vineyard – an area roughly the size of Rhode Island – will be put up for bid at a wind power auction on Jan. 29, 2015.

If leased and developed by the power industry, the area has the potential to provide wind-generated electricity to 1.4 million homes, according to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, which announced the auction date Monday and pitched it as part of President Barack Obama’s climate action plan and efforts to reduce carbon pollution.

Well this should go smooth as silk. Let’s take one of the most volatile issues in Cape Cod history… and add Barack Obama’s name to it. That should definitely keep everyone calm.

Fucking socialists, now they want to take our wind and redistribute it to the masses? If poor people want wind power then maybe they should put on windmill face masks and harness the energy coming out of their pie holes every time they exhale after a Winston 100.
