Cape Cod Commission denies Cape Wind application
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Cape Cod Commission in Massachusetts Thursday denied Cape Wind’s application to bury electric cables needed to connect its proposed 420-megawatt offshore wind farm in the Nantucket Sound to the state power grid.
Cape Wind said in a release that it would challenge the Commission decision. The Cape Cod Commission is a local organization created by the state in 1990 to manage growth and protect Cape Cod’s natural resources.
Sen. Ted Kennedy and many residents who own coastal property from where they could see the wind turbines on a clear day oppose the project along with some environmental groups concerned about disrupting the patterns of migratory birds and the potential effect on local sea life.
Congraulations to Ted and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to author David McCullough, and all the other enviro-phonies who lose sleep over global warming yet fight tooth and nail to preserve their sacred Nantucket Sound views from the evils of wind power. Now they can go back to their private jets and powerboats and focus on telling the rest of us how to live.

Let’s build a nuclear power plant on Cape Cod instead.
Hmm, just how far offshore does the State’s (and thus the Commission’s) jurisdiction extend?
You sell the sizzle not the steak!
In other words - I need to worry about global warming but I’m not going to do anything about it.
I guess if they can’t bury the cables, they’ll just have to string them overhead.

Cape Wind is a public safety hazard as proposed for Nantucket Sound. This project is not compatible in this Essential Fishing Habitat, with endangered species present. MA Audubon has stated to the USACE that up to 6,600 birds will die per year by Cape Wind.
MA Fishermen’s Partnership representing 18 commercial fishing organizations and over 3,000 fishermen object to this project they consider will pose a threat to their safety, and to be a “taking” threat of their fishing grounds.
I’m not a NIMBY, just reasonably informed. Location, location, location, never, never, never leave site selection to a developer. Zone and create policy before entertaining the application. Geez
