New Poll Finds Growing Support for Cape Wind
Friday, March 07, 2008
Support for the Cape Wind turbine farm project in Nantucket Sound has climbed to its highest level ever statewide (86 percent) and on the Cape/Islands (74 percent), due in part to the positive and widely publicized draft environmental impact statement (EIS) released in January 2008 by the U.S. Interior Department’s Minerals Management Service (MMS).

Made public just days before a series of public hearings to be held statewide on Cape Wind, the new scientific survey of more than 1,200 state residents was conducted by the Opinion Research Corporation (ORC) for the independent Civil Society Institute, a nonprofit and nonpartisan think tank located in Newton, MA.
