I'm An Environmentalist As Long As It Doesn't Obscure My View

Uber-environmentalist Teddy Kennedy is all for renewable energy, just not where he lives:

BARNSTABLE - In what some believe is a carefully orchestrated campaign to block the proposed Nantucket Sound wind project, a bill pending in the Senate contains a provision that would stop all such projects cold.
The amendment, filed by Sen. John Warner, R-VA, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, would prevent the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from processing any permits for wind farms on the Outer Continental Shelf until Congress approves more comprehensive regulations controlling such development.
The amendment, according to Seth Kaplan, senior attorney for the Conservation Law Foundation in Boston, was tacked onto the defense authorization act, already approved by both the House and Senate, and now in conference committee before it is re-voted in both chambers and sent to President Bush for his signature.
Besides Warner, another key senator serving on that conference committee is Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-MA, who strongly opposes the project.
It was not immediately clear when Warner submitted the amendment but it may have been as recently as Tuesday night.
Efforts to reach both Warner and Kennedy have so far been unsuccessful.

What the hell is Warner thinking? A great chance to embarrass that fat bastard Kennedy and he gets in the way. He must have some pork-barrel spending on the table that requires Kennedy's vote. Despicable.
