The possibility of eventually going further and deeper will be enhanced by the experience that will be gained with the turbines in Nantucket Sound....It is prudent that the first projects be relatively close to shore, and in relatively shallow water before moving further out. Nantucket Sound is a good place to begin.

Osterville billionaire oil man behind stealth move to stop the wind farm
