In case you missed it, on Friday last week, California Governor Schwarzenegger delivered a very important keynote Address at the Yale Climate Change Conference. In his speech, the Governor speaks bluntly and basically tells environmentalists to get out of the way and let important projects that can bring environmental benefits move forward. The Governor states very clearly Democrat’s and environmentalists need to do the right thing and move out of the way. See my post on this at www.itstheinfrastructure.com Cheers!

But, to the extent my characterization was absurd, emotionally immature, whatever, it pales in comparison to protesting on environmental grounds a company seeking the proper channels to evaluate their technology's impact on the environment. Neither Verdant's East River installation nor Ocean Power Technologies's New Jersey installation were FERC-permitted (though neither were grid connected). The fact remains, however, that the pursuit of due diligence ought not be met with and defeated by uninformed opposition. That is, as you say, hardly fair or productive. best, daniel p.s. I'm glad you enjoyed my somewhat informative post. Mr. Caldwell,

If you want your viewpoints to be met with respect, you might want to try a little more emotional maturity. Jerry Caldwell Mr. Englander,
