Cape Wind Ready To Bring First Offshore Wind Farm
An anonymous reader writes "The Cape Wind Project, a wind farm of 130 turbines to be built in Nantucket Sound off the coast of Cape Cod, can finally move forward as they have been given a green light by the US Minerals Management service. Leaders from labor, civic, and environmental groups across Massachusetts and the country hailed the release of the report, as it is the final federal environmental report needed for the long delayed and much scrutinized project to finally move forward. When completed, Cape Wind will be capable of supplying up to 420 megawatts of electricity, potentially offsetting as much as a million tons of carbon emissions and saving more than 100 million gallons of oil every year. But the environment wont be the sole beneficiary of Cape Wind. It will likely be a boon to out of work Massachusetts residents, as well, given that as many as 1,000 green jobs could be brought to the Bay State in addition to a significant supply of clean, renewable energy."
Your kind of crazy's shelf life expired January 20th,2009.
Go crawl back under you little rock with the rest of your ilk.
I would love to see statistics on how many insects are killed just by driving your car to work.
How many microorganisms do you kill when you wash your hands?
I'm sure your car kills more insects in a week than all the birds all turbines kill in a year. Don't hear anyone defending those poor flies in your grill. They're living things too!
