Boston Globe / July 31, 2010 >> Attorney General Martha Coakley’s office, signed an agreement in May to purchase 50 percent of Cape Wind’s 130-turbine's power, at prices more than double the current cost of electricity from fossil fuels...Snip & fast forward…
Coakley -- whose office recently negotiated a 10 percent reduction in how much Cape Wind and National Grid can charge customers for wind-generated electricity -- submitted official justification of her rate settlement. The report includes "redacted" words, numbers, sentences, paragraphs and charts. It even blanked out a question asked of an energy expert hired by Coakley's office -- and the expert's response was also crossed out, records filed with the Department of Public Utilities show.

I thought the big wind on Cape Cod died two years ago.
Martha is running unopposed this November.
How sad is that?
Many in the wind industry, while of course all for more wind energy, have come out against this project for the extreme costs. This lack of transparency will alienate what few supporters Cape Wind has left.
Remember, this leftist crook could have been a Senator from Massachusetts.
Hey Massachusetts, you get what you vote for, and right now between Coakley and that nutcase governor, you’re getting screwed ten ways to Sunday, and you deserve it.
FU
Why is a attorney general negotiating electric rates? What a screwed up state.
I would like to know if Coakley negotiated for any bendy straws as part of the secret wind deal.
Maybe Jerry Brown can get to the bottom of this.
Won’t we all be surprised when she relents and the headlines read “Coakley Releases Wind”.
I don't find that the least bit comforting. OTH, think how fast those turbine blades would spin.
This is Mass, remember, they built a $15,000,000,000 leaky tunnel that kills people. It cost slightly more than twice its predicted cost and took only twice as long to build. Takes time and effort to skim $7,000,000,000 tax dollars.
Talk about putting our country in "R" for reverse...the whole idea of wind energy is so...Don Quixote-ish. I mean, it is the silly intellectuals sitting in their isolated cocoons who advocate this, mostly. The government inhibits more modern forms of energy generation, caving into the environmentalists who win arguments in Congress. Then the people are subjected to having their taxes used on projects that are extremely costly and that usually fail. It is all so political, with little emphasis on successful functionality.
It’s more than sad. It’s a crime.
