U.S. Offshore Wind Farm Receives $2 Billion From Japanese Banks 185
kkleiner writes "The Bank of Tokyo has invested $2 billion into Cape Wind, the 130-turbine wind farm that is inching closer to becoming a reality. The project is vying to the first offshore wind farm in the U.S. after a decade-long campaign mired by red tape in order to receive approval. Proposed to be installed in Nantucket Sound, the wind farm is estimated to have a capacity of 468 megawatts."

A planned for wind farm near Nantucket ... Okay, maybe it's not dirty... but better than nothing. :D
Risked the view of a rich tourist's junket
So a judge stepped on in
Said, "give safety a spin"
"To test the idea, then I'll flunk it."

There once was a wind farm in Nantucket
That the US told to suck it
The Japs prefer a blow
To Fukushima glow
So they bought a share for their socket

On a windfarm down in Nantucket,
Some rich bastards there tried to fuck it.
But the press badges stopped by,
And they invoked the public's eye,
Who then told all the fuckers to shove it.
In Japan they feel it's a must,
To rid themelves of nuclear dust,
So they dropped a fat cheque
On said windfarm's deck
To help them win the public's trust.
Due to the fortunes that they hold dear,
Of these bastards, it is abundantly clear:
All projects they will attempt to defraud,
To keep construction out of Cape Cod
Using rhetoric both truthful and smear.
