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

...Interior Department officials pledge to get the project off the ground by April. The Boston Globe reported last week that Mr. Salazar is allowing public comment until Feb. 12 and hopes to have a compromise worked out by March 1. If no compromise is reached, the feds could then take the matter into their own hands.

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.
