Gee,
ReplyDeleteMassachusetts is one of the smallest land masses, one of the highest ranking with population, and top 3rd in density compared to other surrounding states and such. And we what in the Berkshires??? We need 1000 windmills for the greater good of the union again?
Given those figures, it would seem Massachusetts would tip over as we are way out of balance vs providing other states and Eastern MA with 'goods'.
I would think drowning towns for the greater good is enough to ask from Boston. I quote from an article "Metropolitan Boston's demand for fresh water began to outstrip its local supplies in the early part of the nineteenth century".
It is the only time Boston feels a need to travel west - lets take. The last time it was Western MA's water. Now it is lets go to Western MA for our energy needs, Wind Turbines!
Perhaps we should all go over to Quabbin and turn the water facet off for Boston until they rethink energy conservation on individual basis.
