Scudder and Hy-Line staff on WXTK ignore grants in their responses

Several members of the public challenged the two guests from Hy-Line this morning on WXTK on whether they are receiving money from Cape Wind in a quid pro quo to end their opposition to the turbines in waters south of Cape Cod in return for a deal to ferry people around the wind farm.

None asked about grants or tax money being used, as far as I heard.

The two guests didn't volunteer it either. Still, it was quite clear that the public was asking what they're getting out of the switch and their announcement of all the improvements they're going to suddenly make to their business... in the presence of at least six politicians according to the Cape Cod Times.

That's unfortunate when you hear the millionaire owners talking about school kids on buses taking tours and getting on their new eco ship, using their visitor center and any number of other improvements to their business that are going to be covered under taxpayer grant money. And by definition, field trips are paid for by you.

Still, the public fixated on whether they were on the take from another corporation.

What's more important is that taxpayers don't have to buy businessmen buildings, buses, field trips from schools or other nonsense that they then profit from... especially when people are being sold there's no money.

The only time there is no money is when there's a human involved, yet there are trillions for corporations ?

This brings me to a suggestion for another Cape Cod business to engage in eco tourism.

Cape Air should give tours of the chemtrails that "aren't" being sprayed and the haze and clouds that they "don't" create (see my list of patents in an earlier post)...

How is that any different than the wind turbine fantasy where you'll pay three times as much for your power as you are now to finance an inefficient joke to keep GE and Siemens happy ?
