RFK Jr.’s ‘Sad’ Slide From Environmental Hero to Outcast

September 24, 2024

In the early 2000s, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., then a prominent environmental attorney who had recently been named one of Time magazine’s “Heroes for the Planet,” played a leading role in killing an offshore wind farm in Nantucket Sound not far from his family’s Cape Cod estate.
