Quotes of Note

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.

-- Dr. James F. Manwell, Director, Renewable Energy Research Laboratory, UMass

 		State gets $2m grant for wind technology

...projects like Cape Wind, the wind farm proposed for Nantucket Sound, have opened the potential for a new crop of offshore plants requiring much larger turbines and longer blades.

"Our strategy will be to get out early and capture as much of the market for blade testing as we can," said Ian Bowles , the Massachusetts secretary for energy and environmental affairs. Bowles said construction is set to begin on the Charlestown hangar this fall and the test center is expected to open its doors in 2009.

Jim Gordon , president of Cape Wind LLC in Boston, said the 182-foot-long blades planned for his offshore development could be tested in Charlestown. "This demonstrates Massachusetts is serious about being an energy capital in the 21st century," he said.
