This [Cape Wind project] is precisely the kind of renewable energy that pretty much every Earth Day speech since 1970 has demanded that we develop. Now that it's finally here, though--now that we're talking about particular windmills in particular places, not abstract and squeaky clean 'wind power'--people aren't so sure...But I've given my share of Earth Day speeches, and seen the effect they had. Sooner or later you've got to do something.

-- Bill McKibben, Author of The End of Nature

Get wheels turning on Cape Wind
Saturday, February 06, 2010
...The environmental concerns have been laid to rest by thorough review. Even the latest charge, that the Bush administration "rushed" the review process, doesn't challenge the conclusions officials reached. The aesthetic concerns opponents raise, are, at best, overstated.

The U.S. has lagged behind other countries in the development of offshore wind power for years. Far from being rushed, Cape Wind has been through 9 years of redundant reviews. More delay is pointless. Issue your ruling, Mr. Secretary, and let's get to work.
