Cape Wind is exactly the type of project we envisioned when we enacted the Restructuring Act. The 420 MW Wind Park proposed by Cape Wind Associates will provide affordable, efficient, reliable and clean energy.

Spare taxpayers these useless anti-wind suits Thursday, May 28, 2009

It was at any one of a number of public hearings about the Cape Wind project that I saw an acquaintance from West Dennis. I said to him, "Do you remember when you were helping to form the Village Library Association, and I was a member of the Friends of the Dennis Public Library? The whole controversy about building a true public library in Dennisport? And how that would mean the end of the village libraries, and the collapse of the small local groups that support them? And how now, that the Dennis Public Library is built, it's meant that all the little village libraries are doing better than ever, and we also have a new public facility?"
He replied cautiously that he did indeed remember. "I have the same feeling about Cape Wind that I did about the public library then — that it's a good idea, and after the controversy clears, we'll all benefit and be grateful that it's built — just like the library."
