Cape Wind Clears Hurdle:
The Volokh Conspiracy —
... (EIS) on the proposed Cape Wind offshore wind power development in Massachusetts, concluding that the project will have no significant negative environmental consequences. Release of the final EIS clears the way for the MMS to lease a portion of Nantucket Sound to Cape Wind, but it hardly makes the project a done deal. Cape Wind will still need to obtain additional permits and clear additional reviews from the Federal Aviation Administration and U.S. Coast Guard. Project opponents also promised litigation and other efforts to prevent the erection of wind turbines in the ...

... that indicates that the gloves are off on this one, and many people reading this are nodding in agreement.For the rest of you, it goes like this: The Cape Wind Project is a Massachusetts-based organization trying to create an offshore wind farm several miles off the coast of Nantucket. Me, I’m more of a nuclear power kind of guy when it comes to alternative energy, but what the heck: I’m also more of a regionalism kind of guy, and there’s nothing wrong with wind power generally.

JammieWearingFool —
President Obama today will set about exploiting Earth Day to shove more massive amounts of economy-crushing legislation down out throats.
