Quotes of Note

As the first shallow water offshore project under review in the United States, utility-scale projects like Cape Wind are important to our national interest and a critical first step to building a domestic, globally competitive wind industry. Success in the project could also lay the foundation for a focused national investment to develop offshore wind technology in the coming years.

-- David Garman, U.S. Undersecretary of Energy

 		Report: Fossil fuels have high impact on New York, New England wildlife
Thursday, May 14, 2009
Fossil-fueled electricity generation sources such as coal and oil pose higher risks to wildlife than renewable electricity generation sources such as hydro and wind, a report prepared for the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority concludes.

"Based on the comparative amounts of SO2, NOx, CO2 and mercury emissions generated from coal, oil, natural gas and hydro and the associated effects of acidic deposition, climate change and mercury bioaccumulation, coal as an electricity generation source is by far the largest contributor to risks to wildlife found in the NY/NE region," the report said.
