Fascinating interview exposing fraud in community politics

Fascinating interview with the author of CAPE WIND. It's the story of a proposed wind farm off Cape Cod which was squashed by the political finesse of wealthy local waterfront homeowners (Kennedy family, Mellon family, etc.), using tactics including the organization of concerned community groups (individuals hired to pose as concerned citizens to oppose the eco-friendly energy source). Mitt Romney comes off particularly poorly in this scenario. Americans should become aware of this corrupt element prevalent in today's political system.

Enjoying Life, Spending Less

Money, celebrity, class, politics, and green energy. The scandal is there, and this one has some of the most powerful people in the US and it all off Cape Cod. The book is Cape Wind: Money, Celebrity, Class, Politics, and the Battle for Our Energy Future on Nantucket Sound.
