The Cape Wind Energy Project is an excellent example of what can be done now to make the transition to renewable energy production without further significant environmental costs. It will stand as a model of progress by the U.S. in meeting its global obligations to reduce greenhouse gases and a model of leadership and compromise by the residents of Cape Cod to reduce air pollution.

Study: Offshore winds a mega-resource
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
...Mitchell T. Baer, director of the Office of Policy and International Affairs at the U.S. Department of Energy, said that for too long national energy policy ignored renewable power, including offshore wind. He spoke of what he called the “inertia of the status quo,” saying momentum will pick up when major projects are developed. Cape Wind, the controversial 130-turbine wind farm proposed off Cape Cod still awaiting federal approval, could be one test case.

“If it goes forward, you’ve got one big domino that’s going to fall,” he said.
