“The FAA has reviewed Cape Wind for eight years and repeatedly determined that Cape Wind did not pose a hazard to air navigation. The essence of today’s court ruling is that the FAA needs to better explain its Determination of No Hazard. We are confident that after the FAA does this, that their decision will stand and we do not foresee any impact on the project’s schedule in moving forward.  Really, today’s court decision doesn’t change things very much because our existing Determination of No Hazard (the 3rd we have received since we started with this project) was set to expire in just 90 days and we were going to have to re-apply at that time anyway, this lets us begin that process sooner.”

Statement by Cape Wind Communications Director Mark Rodgers in response to the Massachusetts Attorney General ruling that initiative petition #11-28 is unconstitutional:

"We applaud the Attorney General for striking down as unconstitutional a ballot question being pushed by the coal and oil industry and waterfront mansion owners that would have devastated the clean energy industry in Massachusetts and taken away thousands of jobs."

Statement From Cape Wind’s Director of Communications, Mark Rodgers

"This latest decision by the agency responsible for protecting our air and water is yet another example of how, over the past decade, the coal- and oil-funded opposition group has clogged the court system with frivolous appeals. Cape Wind has won every lawsuit and challenge brought by this self-serving special interest group.

"The real shame in all of this is that each appeal delays the benefits of Cape Wind: cleaner air, energy independence and hundreds of new jobs in the clean energy sector."
