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.

One was about the broken natural gas pipeline leaking five times more fossil fuel into the Gulf of Mexico than initially estimated. The other was about the approval of a wind farm off the coast of Cape Cod.
