As the first shallow water offshore project under review in the United States, utility-scale projects like Cape Wind are important to our national interest and a critical first step to building a domestic, globally competitive wind industry. Success in the project could also lay the foundation for a focused national investment to develop offshore wind technology in the coming years.

-- David Garman, U.S. Undersecretary of Energy

Cape Wind is a worthy, environmentally responsible proposal — and a patient one. After nine years, it’s time to get the 130 turbines installed and turning.
