The theme today appears to be 'holistic". Starting with some of the arguments against the Cape Wind project as being too expensive. Compared to what? The already subsidized production costs of carbon fuels? That is not a fair comparison. The costs exclude the penalty we are paying for the one time use of the carbon fuels. The comparison to the Cape Wind should be easily won when those costs are included.

Yes, there are risks to social media. One should define when to or when not to use it. If you are in a situation like on a jury, better not do it at all rather than have something taken out of context.
