It's not fair,one of Kerry's ocean views will be blocked by windfarm. ROFL...liberal troll has finally turned around and bitten it's most elite supporters on the butt: Mass. OKs windfarm on Nantucket Sound Saturday, 03-Jul- United Press International CAPE COD, Mass., July 3 (UPI) -- Massachusetts has approved the nation's first offshore wind farm, despite opposition from the state's Republican governor, the Boston Globe reported Saturday. The state's Energy Facilities Siting Board OK'd the nearly $700 million project that will build 130 windmills on 24 acres of Nantucket Sound and run underground transmission lines to a power switching station in Barnstable. It is one of the few opportunities for any state agency to weigh in on the project, which will be built in federal waters. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has taken the lead on the environmental review of the project. The board, an independent nine-member panel of gubernatorial appointees who locate utility projects, will make its final decision after a 60-day public comment period. Besides Gov. Mitt Romney's opposition, the board's action disappointed the Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound, which argued the transmission lines are not permitted under the state Ocean Sanctuaries Act. "The prospect of having to look at a massive industrial development off the Cape Cod coastline just got a little more real with this decision," said an alliance spokesman.
