The U.S. Department of Energy has praised the proposed Nantucket Sound wind farm as an important first step, and perhaps the foundation, of a more focused American wind energy industry.
In a letter sent March 31 to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - the principal reviewer of the ambitious Cape Wind plan - an energy official predicts the local review process will provide helpful guidance in future wind energy development.
David K. Garman, assistant secretary to the office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, suggests the project responds to federal policy that makes alternative energy a priority.
Though the two-page letter provides little comment on the Cape Wind plan specifically, it represents perhaps the most resounding endorsement yet from a federal agency for this project.
TOPICS: Business/Economy; Extended News; Government; News/Current Events; US: Massachusetts
KEYWORDS: capewind; energy; environment; nimby; offshorewind; renewable; wind; windenergy; windpower
Many others applaud the Cape Wind proposal as a chance to provide renewable energy on a large scale, though critics say Nantucket Sound is not the right place for reasons environmental, fiscal and aesthetic.Since when have environmentalists ever been concerned about the costs of renewable energy? It's blatantly obvious that this is all about "aesthetics" for the Limousine Liberals inhabiting the Kennedy, Kerry, et al. mansions of Natucket Sound: Not In My Back Yard.

The Wind Farm is opposed on the Democrat side by Duke Energy which owns the Maritmes and Northeast Pipeline and on the Republican side by Koch Industries which is building a Gas Fired Power Plant in Weymouth MA. Ain't gonna be no wind farm.

Wouldn't the farm work better on the Senate floor?

If there's any justice in the world, this will be the view from every window of every leftie's home on Nantucket.

The wind farm would reduce greenhouse gases, reduce our dependence on foreign energy and make the air cleaner for everyone. It's nice where Senator Kennedy's home is but the area lack diversity. Perhaps Senators Kennedy and Kerry can obtain a government grant to build low income housing.
To: Dave Burns
Maybe Sen. Boxer can take time off from her investigation of oil company pricing to support this wind farm.
