My Kansas Kronikles: Gray County Wind Farm

Several times on this blog I've drawn attention to the hypocrisy of America's leading enviromentnal clan, the Kennedys, the the Cape Wind Project near their legendary Hyannis Port compound on Cape Cod.

The chief Kennedy environmentalist is Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. One of his reason for opposing Cape Wind is that migrating birds would be killed by the 130 proposed wind mills that would make up Cape Wind.

Last month near Montezuma, Kansas, which is located between Dodge City and Liberal, I traveled through the Gray County Wind Farm. That wind farm is made up of 190 wind mills. And guess what? The Great Plains is a very important migratory bird route, and right in the middle of it is this wind farm among the wheat fields, Kansas' largest.

But no Kennedy family member lives in southwestern Kansas.
