Goldberg, of course, is simply taking delight in what he describes as a fight between &#8220;&#8230;sanctimonious environmentalists, super-rich property owners, and super-rich, property-owning, sanctimonious environmentalists feeding on each other like big hungry sharks in a small tank.&#8221; (He also gets Walter Cronkite&#8217;s position wrong, something I <a href=\"http:\/\/sustainablog.blogspot.com\/2003\/09\/most-trusted-man-in-america-changes.html\">noted two years ago&#8230;<\/a> Jonah? Hello?!). What we need, according to Yglesias, is not Goldberg&#8217;s self-congratulatory sneers, but an honest debate with Cape Wind opponents to demonstrate that this position is generally incosistent with others they&#8217;ve taken.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Rebecca Wiegand at Moving Ideas&#8217; Ideopolis also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.movingideas.org\/minblog\/archives\/05\/08\/index.html#007455\">points to<\/a> the debate over Cape Wind and to Goldberg&#8217;s piece. She also takes note of some of the activist tactics Greenpeace has launched to get Cape Wind opponent Bobby Kennedy, Jr., on the right side of this issue. I&#8217;ve recently become a fan of this blog, BTW, because they do seem to cover environmental issues regularly. Atrios, Josh Marshall, etc. &#8212; take note!
