Unfortunately, opponents of alternative energy fought and stalled the Nantucket Sound wind project for 9 years... fought something that will look like a speck in the distance... the NIMBY factor applies to alternative energy. We have a number of wind farms near where I live... drive five minutes and you can see windmills on a ridgetop. Frankly, I'd prefer nothing, but the sleek, white windmills are certainly more attractive than houses or smokestacks. “I’m 100 percent for alternative energy, but just not in Nantucket Sound,” Mr. Parent said nytimes.com There's a better way of using our coastal resources to generate energy. On Wednesday, the Obama administration approved the country's first offshore wind farm, a 130-turbine project off Massachusetts that is guaranteed never to foul beaches with tar or emit carbon into the atmosphere. Cape Wind is the future; the sunken Deepwater Horizon drilling rig represents a tarred past.
