A divided Supreme Judicial Court ruled yesterday that a state board had the power to sidestep community opposition to grant the controversial Cape Wind energy project local and state permits it needs to start construction in the waters off Cape Cod. The long-awaited 4-2 decision removes a potential obstacle to the wind farm as its developers prepare to start building 130 turbines in Nantucket Sound within the year. If the court had sided with opponents, the project would probably have been delayed indefinitely or killed outright because several permits would have had to come from a community and a regional agency that oppose the project. Christy Mihos joins Charley to discuss the latest on Cape Wind.

    When President Obama took the podium at Wednesday night's memorial service in Tucson, Ariz., he was greeted with the unbridled excitement of a college campus embracing their commander in chief. Cheers and screams and hoots continued even after he asked for people to sit down. As he started his eulogy, with the somber words, "To the families of those we've lost," voices still cheered and at least three people shouted out, "We love you!" It was not the way most memorial services usually kick off. What did you think of the audience reaction to Obama's speech last night?

  4. Who should be responsible for Clearing Snow from Sidewalks?

    Wed, 12 Jan 2011

    A recent ruling by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court makes it easier for people injured on snow covered walkways to successfully sue those property owners who don’t clear snow from walking surfaces. Winter is here and so are slippery sidewalks, parking lots and walkways. Previously, Massachusetts courts have ruled that a property owner cannot be held liable if someone is injured walking on new or what courts have called “natural” snow. Instead, owners can be held liable if someone walks over the natural snow and then another person falls down while walking on the same area of snow, called “unnatural” snow by the courts.

One of the issues that spend a transforming issue in Massachusetts is -- win. To build these giant wind turbines -- in Nantucket Sound. When it started it was one of those popular group two issues yes wind power. -- it will be cheaper he asked the Poland -- from the wind. Oh yes this would be wonder food. And would have wind power. And a lot of people opposed it a lot of people were -- right away it seemed to need the folks who knew the most about it worth it people who were against it. And now -- is we're finding out that the energy generated is gonna cost 23 some folks a four times as much. It is what folks are paying now for their energy. And the fact that the local communities are being over ridden in trying to find out what's going on with cape wind in. We're cape wind won't even release. Who there investors are. And when you see the huge government handouts they cape wind is gonna get. Hundreds of millions of dollars in government handouts you say which point this is a bad idea are. Let me just give you an update yesterday our State Supreme Court. Ruled on this that divided Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts ruled yesterday that the state board had the power. To sidestep. Community the opposition. To grant controversial cape wind an agency now the -- controversial they never would have called the controversial before. Cape wind energy project local and state permits it needs to start interest construction. In the waters off the Cape Cod. The long awaited fortitude decision removes the potential obstacles to the wind farm. As its developers prepared to start building a 130. Turbines in Nantucket Sound. With. Cape wind must still win approval from the state department of public utilities. Which is reviewing National Grid that's the big electric company here is every one knows. Agreement to purchase half of though wind farms expensive power. And that ruling was afforded to rolling. In this one person we know good friend the Charlie Manning show -- and and all talk radio that has been following this very closely at. Blogs on it all the time and speaks and it all the time I thought it would be great to have him money give us an update on this. Is Christie -- house who lives down on the cape. And has been following this project prologue time that I was reading Christie's Europe so much you blocking the other day on this and you said. If you think the Big Dig was bad wait do you see this.

But it does this is going to be incredible but. I wouldn't I wouldn't get ready to see anybody pounding piling into the ocean floor it. Right now what -- there at least four major federal lawsuits still to be heard. And there's such -- does so much more to be done here but I I have been following this for about nine years right now I think for the last six is seven. I've been back co chairman of the alliance to protect Nantucket Sound yes we are the ones that are fighting it. And so I think we've we've been raised and spent about sixty million dollars to two book due to fight this because and the get we have no stake in this other in the fact that. 25 square miles of Nantucket Sound. -- gonna be given to a private developer. Who will construct. State power plant. For his own personal use out there and predicted the black -- in the Boston Globe let's send it they had a big editorial saying it will be a -- and you know in its future future years that's exactly what John Forbes Kerry reset. In the year 2000. Future generations would consider the Big Dig up bargain. And at this this trend right here. What what the premium that bit rate appears we'll have to pay. Who will be powered up by this if it ever happening god forbid it ever does happen is separate between four point five billion and six billion above. Would -- paying now. For electricity. So this is just step just have boondoggle like I've never seen before. And -- again we can buy. How are green power just like the legislature didn't. I've I've mandate. From at least eight other sources. Outside of Massachusetts by the power and hit and half the price in half the price of world where. Going to be paying for cape winds up power. But no one is listening because it's it's become it -- when I was on the trip like at third base just hit the Big Dig was the ATM. The Massachusetts politicians. Right now -- in this whole. -- goody two shoes. Politically correct green powers -- is that new ATM foot certainly give it Governor Deval Patrick. And a lot of the other senators and reps that support this thing.

6172666860. If you wanna talk to Christine -- not. Christie may also -- how it's ironic -- I -- to talk to Chris the about cape wind he's been following it very closely he knows all the facts here. And like I said win this was first proposed. It was seen as up here this a year a great guy deer in the more we learn about it the more we learn about it what it's gonna cost -- said. In -- federal subsidies and state subsidies. What the electricity is gonna cost which will really hurt especially Cape Cod because the electricity is so expensive. It seems like -- really bad -- dear and yet there are people still trying to push it forward. Give us a call inept to actually Christie it's a big issue in the governor's race obviously Deval Patrick his -- debated demonic for years ago when you're running for governor right.

Everybody laughed at made every -- as we work we work. And at that debt carried you the issue was she wanted to get the because. We were ahead of iPad we side this thing and you know we're not gonna get duped again like we did on the big big challenge. But what what I think people have to understand when it was first proposed that you brought this right up right at the beginning of the show. Is that. They set the developer claim that they could power optic capable produce all the power that dictate neat. But suddenly I'm sorry 75% of the power that the Cape May the only problem is the -- not gonna get any of that politic that all goes into the national dread. And Cape Cod doesn't buy from the National -- So it's so people in metro west didn't in Boston incident in other parts of the state will be paying these usery take great that's quite. Wal-Mart. And the associated industries of Massachusetts and -- in these black suits because they see the handwriting on the wall -- So it should step it. It's just an incredible boondoggle but what happened yesterday at the supreme judicial court. Where we'd lost by one vote really afford -- to. But -- I think justice Marshall Chief Justice Micah Marshall and justice Francis been half. Says it correctly. That this opens the door this ruling opens the door for offshore drilling and nuclear power plant here in Massachusetts because that overrides. The local. Up determining process cities and and this is what it's you know. It's gonna -- gets bigger and this Obama's the best -- in the whole socialism. Aspect of government has got -- gets bigger. Local government gets more of its rights stripped away whether it's you know mandated. Issues that we have to deal -- without any funding whatsoever. Well or things like this they have opened the dog like justice Thurgood Marshall said. Well offshore drilling and nuclear power went and they can go go over the it's of that at -- a local jurisdictions. Take our rights away. And do what ever they want.

And that's why the in the Patrick administration is trying to do they're trying to. Reach him through in this off session these informal sessions. Legislation that would let them. Override your local community. On the siting of wind -- right attitude on the Republicans have been blocking it every day in their -- and a great job -- And -- date also. Just issued guidelines on bio mass bio mass they were gonna be for power plants built in western Massachusetts. It would reviews biomass which is sort of the leftovers of trees and plants and everything to generate electricity and heat. And again in the back rooms. Yeah. Part of the of the Patrick administration. Has put together a plan that -- absolutely kill. Any opportunity to you to do biomass in our state so so that's what's going on in yet. -- pushing this incredible expense. In this Chris you said giving the way. Parts of Nantucket Sound for free to a not not only for freak he's gonna get. How many hundreds of millions of dollars in government subsequently what are.

And -- is when they put the first. First whatever in the in the ocean bad idea. -- in its gonna take. Seven years to build and they -- what they wanna build it in seventeen different stages those sequences all right does seventy years. Pounding away at the ocean bottom. With -- is going in and then and then concrete going on top of that -- When they -- they get at least 300 million dollars in cash up front. Then they get. 70%. Of the rest of the costs to build this thing. In government loan guarantees that you. At the top of the show you are talking about it no one knows he investors. The advantages of the American taxpayers and ratepayers here in Massachusetts. Who have nothing to say about this whatsoever. There -- energy costs are gonna go up four and five times. All in the name Bob allegedly. Clean power and I thought it clean power has never been so dirty hit it in my lifetime. What you'd see the chaos that -- it you know they have everybody in their back pocket. The day after Governor Patrick school what it is boards. Gave. He gave one of the big utilities. They fly these four million dollar annual rate increase. That next day. --

Any lobbyists of that public utility had what Christie hey trying to raise a fund raiser for governor capturing and our dollar -- of thousands of dollars I heard they were bringing the men and we'll barrels -- the governor.

Like the Big Dig all day is when they were out there collecting everything with you know. What in bags not checks about in bags and so this is gonna get as bad or worse and then when you find out that -- we can't. We we can't do any of the the real cost. Issues. How much it's gonna cost how much it is it really gonna cost detect these great KO over the years. These are some of the things that you -- scratch your head the state didn't we do any thing on the Big Dig well Google ward commission years and years ago. It's so that's why -- fighting it so much down here.

And who the investors are the -- cape wind people were -- fusing. So let us know who their investors are in this matter don't you think if we're gonna be giving them. All of this public land and all of this all of this taxpayer money we ought to know who's gonna be putting it in their pockets.

What about transparency. What about what governor tactics that in 200620072008. That he wants to put -- stake in the end in the height of the big Dick culture. It's the same thing all over again and it when I was in the turnpike what I had assumed many Amarillo and his General Counsel that they would not release. Document. About to be bad contracts about the leaks in the title and and all of this serious. Problems we had we can't even get that now and we have an attorney general that's supposed to be. The people's protector. Well not in the release that information.

6172666868. If you'd like to talk to Christie he's been keeping an eye on this. Cape wind project on the cape and I'm telling you. When I saw -- compared to the big big -- thought we've got to have him on to Phyllis and on this and then of course yesterday the Supreme Court. -- to rolling really close ruled that all of the local community opposition could be overridden. Because the Patrick administration. Gave why not all purpose permit to let the cape -- people do in neat thing they want. And that's what's going on down there and -- denial of forests and give -- call few -- talk about it. Or you can send us a text if you have a question in the last -- about it 68680. Let's go do what Tony in the car your first with Christie today.

So right glove issue all the ballots into our -- like amber thanks to mom. First ELE a lot I I think god you've got the right are bought this Kate went bankrupt it's got I am actually all of fortieth vocal they're now. -- But I thank god let this -- that killed one that would actually -- What it when I first trip auto battery the bar and that I doubt bill that create them I was wallet because. Ted Kennedy would against this but I I look good I think that Jerry might occur right above but they're here. And out -- dollar -- it -- not it's just can't just like the big stick with a stamp nobody's gonna make any money off this except but he got. Apollo property that you like that set up when that one though they are always thought just the body -- They -- not -- and why are quite a bit of power for the unemployed lit portal or block justify. Because we're all efficient not be a fight would then stop that's gonna happen and they think people all hardware -- Could be getting for all of but they're not let that happen because a certain guy that I -- they are getting our initial how many -- here you know they don't wanna watch you know. Who won their relationship what bad stuff -- not let that happen you know get which will be to record.

And you know like that the people and but Tony the people and main street will always take it in the chin up all the time because. Lobbyists. And not as good is there lobbyists.

Well -- distance pretty darn good.

But it isn't -- great. But she hasn't really come out that too much on against decade when that that. Then I've heard but we've been fighting this giant after nine years and we get another nine or eighteen left --

Amazing I debts. You gotta keep slightly Christie gotta keep fighting it -- good job in the car your -- of Christie miles I'm we're talking about cape wind.

I do like I do it I got desperate at this just called out broke what are we are not straight Big Ten. Thought ought to happen out there were brought victory -- You know and of people order that they don't -- because the politicians and everybody else is -- are gonna -- it all out.

It you don't you know -- in the last debate now. All three gubernatorial challenges to the president governor are against this and they see that it's basically just like most people see this as a real scam but would you take a look. Bad lacked the amount -- will be amount of money that you -- money that's gonna go in to build this thing it's.

How much Christie for federal dollars that they'd look into -- to pick off.

Did it in -- billion jolly and you hear a lot of it could be stimulus funds but one good thing happened as I told you earlier. When the when. Well the Obama administration was looking for funds to extend the jobless benefits for Europe for people they cut out some of these alternative power. A source of funds he has so you know they're they're gonna be kept it up. More people chasing. A limited idea but the when you take away when you take away the local. Like an audiotape -- gamut. And constable that are against it plus we have the Cape Cod commission that really works as they haven't got the planning agency there -- to -- Because we see what I don't how important. That -- six square miles toy type -- a mouse is two words to Cape Cod. -- so all of that all of those certain challenges will put -- yesterday. The idea but a lot of one vote on the supreme judicial court.

All -- cults don't -- don't -- also bet on a while. Ours are gonna I. Those people out very well noted that. Just like just like with seaport. 60% of our -- Stick absolutely. No debate why they talk a bit more I've read -- of people they. People. Are bent but that. Like you're gonna.

Did you know John can't let that ruling -- what it does and opened the door so that it for it again. Offshore drilling. And nuclear power if the people didn't and in the local communities that are blasted don't want -- should do related. Who -- the energy siting board. Didn't do what ever they want and those people's rights to those industries that bit of fishing industries and all will be put asunder. Because the blacks speak louder than people's concerns CF.

Exactly right it's -- doubt that of people who edit that edit the park properties that Eric and all should wear it.

Hey whoever you know what re all this green energy about. It's about taking some of our green and put -- in these hucksters pockets what it's all of.

You're right about that but I just finally you want one more thing I John a back a few years ago when. California really got into the green industry before a lot of other states did. That it did there was an audit and all. In California ratepayers will overcharge 71. Billion dollars in these green power scams and all and that's where we're heading to. So that you don't get ready like like Charlie's that it all comes down to the green.

Let's grab another call he -- Dan in Waltham your necks -- Christie my house and we're talking about cape wind and who ever thought we would be. You know with sounded so good at the beginning and now it's turning into a nightmare sorry Dan Europe.

They'll -- expressed people watch -- back. Yeah I ample blame the presence of aids Carter you've seen the photos of those wind notebook the depictions of those are on Nantucket -- it literally. They make -- in -- unpaid car look -- junk yet it is -- so visible like yep believe. Politicians of push it but -- spent. Almost. Energy. When we April 4 highest energy rates in the --

Well if you're driving through Boston today it looked over at the custom house it's it's hired in the custom house each one of those 130 turbines. -- hired in the custom.

How how tall are they Christie.

455. Feet hit the top while the other hot hit solid in the border and sag a more bridges. Okay from from the -- from the canal to the top of these bridges so.

so far I'm going over the creek Cape Cod canal and I get to the top of the bridge -- There are high here than that.

Correct Charlie don't know web site that Kate went in -- chilly weather outlook like it -- I can't believe no one's really talking about it but I'm and another thing. I read that he. Even that old powerful winds aren't perfect. Synchronicity -- whatever it will produce less electricity than the -- from nuclear power plant which was built in the early company. It is really doesn't make much sense it would.

It's the least efficient form of alternative energy and very expensive -- because that's our shores very expensive. And they're gonna have like a big palm oil well this. Has it -- things -- like 8000 gallon tank. On one of the one of the estate result -- Saudi thousand gallons. -- flow of oil but it wouldn't have M I also read -- Merrill don't know about -- you remember reading it. Are those turbines that Huckabee built in -- out -- over Barack Obama is up -- information that spot because from Germany.

Odd job but I think they're gonna it's sort of like we will the staging area being.

They'll be assembled in Rhode Island.

No it it is gonna death yet we Rhode Island Nelson I I'd heard it was up it was between New Bedford in Rhode Island but you've heard Christie now it's definitely Rhode Island.

Yes they going to be made in Germany and -- about are purple ball -- put on what and it actually you know I've. Siemens was gonna build them they don't build them anymore General Electric was in the build them they don't build them anymore so we don't know. Which turbine that they've chosen now because that's. It is so inefficient -- that a that a lot of people of getting out of the business and now you know I put up three. In in one of my stores and on top of the gas canopy -- a couple of years ago he didn't do with any. Federal state or local money just added a mileage to see what would happen right. I think -- we've got three little ones up there and it how it up about 30% a blood money store uses but I didn't use any view our money to do it. And indeed we may get more. That made -- more conducive for people to do that in their own yeah it's safe here. -- Wednesday and did some of the hills it was stored in a -- summit held down there. -- Five or six where it -- it you know a lot of a loved one happens. That they were actually have liked to take. 2185. Square miles of your oceanfront property but nothing. And to take Big Apple well over a billion dollars in government and federal funds to do this it just it you know you'd be very very sad.

a bit better application Obama are running out of time aren't shouldn't we be citing. -- new nuclear power plant we like to -- our energy prices down in this state to remain competitive with the other states. And I other -- plants chemical that long in the -- and they have. And up land on the -- for a a brand new -- the bill was gonna last forever quickly be better RB of -- written supplement. Well well it became most drug but that ten year project in Iran I want -- electricity because it's it's reasonably priced.

Well now you can do it without any local opposition because of what the supreme judicial court.

Although it's not peace the I'm sure -- the conference -- that DI. Deval Patrick administration won't be giving out giant permits to ram through nuclear power facilities Christie well.

Frankly think that sort of -- PC then they split what is that something like 75% of their power. Comes to nuclear.

We way we we.

Back on the -- should just to update you on this are hostage situation in in silver springs Maryland. The police are inside the building and they are now speaking with the suspect is the latest report so. At least did make contact with him. He appears to be in Asian male and he's being monitored on the security cameras in the building it's a fairly new building. Also all the children at the daycare center in this building it's the Discovery Channel building in silver springs Maryland. Have been safely evacuated to a nearby McDonald's. Says the kids are probably all getting happy meals -- and that is good. And it -- you know this is a man with with what appears to be an explosive device has taken at least one hostage. In the discovery building in downtown silver springs. Maryland so. We are keeping an eye on that for you and is soon as -- happens on wall keep our fingers crossed and -- prayer. That it all works out well in this man gives himself up and ends this confrontation. Anyway we've been talking about cape wind. Yesterday the supreme judicial court ruled Fortis to. That all of the local communities now can be overridden. Because the Patrick administration has decided to give them. Cape wind won Jai you permit that qualifies them for everything. And one of the people who have been keeping your real eye on this and be a terrific watchdog on this he's been blogging on its speaking out. Is Christie -- house and so we asked Christie to com on and join us today. And we're taking your calls and your text messages 68682. Text does. In if you want to like give us a call you know the number 617666868. You back aboard Christie.

Actually -- all right let's not. Let's talk to -- Mike in the truck it's always good to talk to Mike in the truck how are you Mike.

Eight long grade seven degrees Manchester, New Hampshire. Blue. -- good thing you don't pay big Mike. Hey how I agree with don't want court appointed it that they object landed a white power front end out. If anybody did any research basically. Standard electrical rates that the live word that fully recharged his body he. That's the kilowatt -- The cape wind project out they'll lend itself is about two dollars and fifty cents a kilowatt hour but he could figure out how many items that is. I'll handle and it's always -- bottom bucket cap for kilowatt hour.

She stopped -- it let me Mike let me just throw one thing yet -- are you a Massachusetts resident. Yes I -- okay do you remember a couple of years ago in Massachusetts gave a company called Evergreen Solar. That's 76 million dollar grant can do to two expand their facilities up and central Massachusetts.

I yes I do -- I try to get -- not only do I drive tractor trailer but I also I don't like they'll put their company I try to get in there to Bob. Well I'll support whatever -- solar but. That they inform being dead are they're not gonna do much -- plant very. There do some manufacturing but issued an arrest over the giant that -- 400 jobs. Doubt they're losing 400 jobs to China. And they were -- yet -- old boring. 800 jobs to the city area would you -- money Mike. Well it might money I agree that this thing I don't agree with your -- fear not I eight I agreed that they should open up. We're drilling offshore drilling and nuclear power up -- an ex navy veteran Arab and our summary -- I live -- up overreact here for the better part of forty years all ahead and I got less. Let radiation. Doing that then you did hang around on on the beach but. Net that is you know that I think they should open up nuclear power but they issued open up drilling offshore because. We cannot look forward to be pulling our. Or a lot of the Middle East. Well Venezuela.

I agree with you I absolutely agree with you on that but what you what you can't take away is the local communities right. To at least oppose I have assay and it. I cannot speeches state. A one sided political who's gonna put up most money to buy access and to by the powered via. And I've I've been political power not but not the -- that is generated and at some point but this is what it just really troubles me that. They amount of money that's coming into play right now in the political brought this to get this thing done and and and and started. So they can hold on this 300 million dollars of your money. Just to begin. And then get a 77070%. Of it. I guarantee he'd throw the other loans that they put forth -- to look -- this thing whether it's -- observed over or or aura. I guarantees and that's what the real problem is -- and what Mike again you're you're a competitive tech with a guy you believe in the in the capitalist system and -- This is no -- contract won a firm. Cape wind associates hasn't this all to themselves they -- you know if if you to -- hit the lottery. I'd opened well megabucks or whatever it is that you -- you know I think I wanna be -- of that I think I'll I'll come in with a competing bid -- gone you're out you can't even begin. To get in there and it's so that I think that's something that bothers a lot of people it's just sole source for these insiders who've contributed. Tens of thousands of dollars to watch governor and -- put hundreds of thousands of the Dalton to other politicians that the problem here. It says it's amazing.

Data off base let. Yeah yeah well I activate the main thing at all. All right the governor could -- one but first then being controlled well -- on our dime. Yet. -- all 815100 dollar 5800 workers. Because of a slot machine. -- that's good but he noted it's evidently they didn't like that. That competitive process but other -- they'd like this one. Yeah obviously have a great -- got.

Thanks Mike let's go to my let's go to ray in East Boston new -- Christie Nye house.

Elicited in the above -- be.

Let's go back to other calls here we're talking about cape wind would -- my house who's been covering that when you DR cape wind correspondent Christy.

Obviously you want the divisions.

In fact here's a here's a good -- 978 Charlie they should put the wind turbine on Beacon Hill there's a lot of wind blowing up there are there no -- in every your next Charlie Manning and Christie Nye house.

All right don't not.

I have a question that's been bugging me know when I don't think that they and they have all -- underpinned all -- No greater -- is yeah we got great I did he get up off I don't let everything.

But not gonna happen in the lead and I feel like not gonna happen. Is because we should have a reality show on prime time TV hot how are you not want.

That stopping these things good good and the bad and I.

you know what shocked shocked -- let me tell you what let me tell you what's going on. Something's gonna happen we are having an election if you -- body is a governor in the air now who's pushing this through it all costs this -- lines his campaign coffers takes the money from the big utility companies. It is trying to shove this thing through. There's three other candidates who were all opposed to it in say they will stop it. So we can do something about it on November 2 by electing someone who says they're against cape wind. And if we elect -- baker RK hill or Jill Stein then cape wind can be stopped.

That's right don't you don't get it -- only that's not my only problem cape where it might problem it. Even that you won't get somebody else yeah they all -- about -- including do you. And we do not have a type on par and only television will be most people watching and not just the total -- view.

Are shocked you know what -- of the call we appreciate it is he down in the building down Marion not silver springs. You we have to think Discovery Channel has to advertise these things but Ted in Arlington your next who Christie my house we get about thirty seconds dead.

Are there you -- right every few hours the parent comes one way comes another way that we could go Hydro there. But it hasn't been proposed as yet it's being proposed along the Mississippi. And another -- that -- doing it right now and he's looking for some investors but I think they'll be successful but right out here. When power I'm looking out there right now. The wind really doesn't come up each day until about 1130. And on Nantucket Sound and it is not really strong wind whatsoever. If this is the the least. Productive. Type of alternative energy -- there is and did particularly -- in the way the governor has on this is just that. A very sad commentary on someone that. Proposed. Doing away with a big big culture and having transparency. But the people until they get snookered again. And so we're gonna be out here we've been fighting for nine years political nine more and do whatever we have to do to kill this.
