Given our energy predicament, some environmentalists and others advocate “saying yes” to constructing the port on Sears Island, despite inevitable degradation of a special island.

That means in this case “Yes, In My Backyard.” Let’s bring the jobs and the port to Mack Point! ~ Michael Bowe, Belfast
