NIMBY NUTS

In our recent "What The Market Offers" blurb a few days ago we brought up what to us is some of the craziness surrounding today's environmental movement.

Everyone's got a beef and nobody wants it in their backyard or running through their environmentally-sensitive soil.

Well, here's another read on the subject and just how wacko it can get. Whatever you do don't take our word for it. Read the article and decide for yourself. Here's a brief quote to wet your appetite.

Practicing politics in Massachusetts must be like steering a ship toward a safe harbor while running away from a hurricane. Certainly Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, who is being battered by environmentalists, must feel that way.

Patrick it should be noted is a Democrat who earlier was praised by many of these same people who now want to filet him. 

Understand that the Northeast has long wanted to bring more natural gas to the energy-starved region for a long time. Then go back and read Senator Warren's comments about providing energy the Massachusetts way we quoted in our blurb.

Put that in perspective with Senator Markey's silly comment we also quoted and you'll get an idea just how knotty this issue can get.
