Taking a stand

1 November 2002

Your editorial "Elitist Nimbyism" was fantastic. The positions of the politicians you highlight are disturbing. In this time when we are about to send our troops off to war, at least in part due to our addiction to oil, all politicians should take a public stand on the energy choices we face.

Your editorial "Elitist Nimbyism" was fantastic. The positions of the politicians you highlight are disturbing. In this time when we are about to send our troops off to war, at least in part due to our addiction to oil, all politicians should take a public stand on the energy choices we face. In Massachusetts, political leaders should take a public stand on the proposed Cape Wind project. Voters deserve the opportunity to decide which are fit to represent us.
