Quotes of Note

This [Cape Wind project] is precisely the kind of renewable energy that pretty much every Earth Day speech since 1970 has demanded that we develop. Now that it's finally here, though--now that we're talking about particular windmills in particular places, not abstract and squeaky clean 'wind power'--people aren't so sure...But I've given my share of Earth Day speeches, and seen the effect they had. Sooner or later you've got to do something.

-- Bill McKibben, Author of The End of Nature

Environmental group stands behind Cape Wind
Friday, April 10, 2009
Cape Cod's preeminent environmental group has come out in favor of the proposed Nantucket Sound wind farm.

The Association to Preserve Cape Cod sent a letter to its members a week ago that lays out the group's support for the project, executive director Maggie Geist said yesterday.  "We find the potential environmental effects on habitats and species from the proposed construction, operation, and decommissioning of this wind farm to be acceptable," Geist and APCC president Susan Shephard wrote in the letter.

The 40-year-old organization's 17-member board of directors voted unanimously to support the project, Geist said. The group's membership was not surveyed but the board heard from both opponents and proponents of the project, she said. The decision was made after the board was able to review a final environmental report on the wind farm released by the federal government in January, Geist said.
