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.

Ted K seen as environmental windbag Tuesday, April 11, 2006
Environmentalists ripped into U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, usually a staunch ally, after the Massachusetts Democrat acknowledged yesterday he encouraged a Senate colleague to file a measure to kill a windmill project off of Cape Cod.
One critic said Kennedy - whose family’s famous Hyannis compound is just miles away from the proposed offshore Cape Wind project - has seriously harmed his reputation among environmentalists.
