The opponents of offshore wind power in Delaware are scrambling to make it look like they’re actually in favor of renewable energy. The News Journal reports that they’ve hit on a diversionary tactic to make it look like they might actually consider doing something:
On Friday, [Sen. Harris] McDowell announced that three senators had asked him to schedule hearings to look at all of the state’s options for “affordable, environmentally friendly energy,” including on-shore wind. Those senators were [Thurman] Adams, Majority Leader Anthony DeLuca, D-Newark East, and Majority Whip Patricia Blevins, D-Elsmere.
So what do you do if you’re a legislator who fervently opposes the Bluewater Wind agreement, but still wants to look like a proponent of renewable energy? You hold hearings about somebody else, somewhere else, doing something else, some other time.
it is sad to see other Democrats dragged into this farce by the truly excreble McDowell and Adams.
