Cape Wind is true danger to air traffic between the Cape and Islands
8/26/08 - Cape Cod Times letter to the editor
Richard Elrick, President of Clean Power Now, should get his facts straight on Cape Wind’s true danger to air traffic between the Cape and Islands.  In his recent letter, Elrick misrepresents the FAA’s current position on Cape Wind and totally ignores the safety concerns of all three local airports.  In fact, in a January 2008 letter to Congressman Delahunt, the FAA cited a “presumed hazard determination” for Cape Wind due to concerns for local air traffic and radar interference to air traffic control systems. 
 

Bloomberg's wind-power talk just blew smoke
8/21/08 - Newsday
A day after touring the great potential of wind powering New York City, Mayor Michael Bloomberg acknowledged yesterday that his proposal placing wind turbines atop bridges and skyscrapers would be a bit impractical.

Thanks to Emerging New Technology, Deepwater Wind Farms are the Wave of the Future
8/15/08 - EnergyTechStocks.com
The fastest growing electric generation segment is wind energy. Once a novel technology, wind farms are now “mainstream.” T. Boone Pickens recently gave the industry some “uplift” with his TV advertisements. In the United States wind energy is all land-based; the economics work. FPL Energy, the US leader has over 40% market share.

Russian roulette, Cape Wind style
8/15/08 - Cape Cod Times My View
There is a face-off brewing between two federal agencies over the fate of birds in Nantucket Sound, centering on the Cape Wind energy project. At issue is whether the U.S. Minerals Management Service defers to the cautionary advice of its expert peer, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, or will it ramrod the Cape Wind project forward, driven by political considerations?

Residents, Gov. Patrick engage in give and take
8/12/08 - Cape Cod Times
...On the question of the price of electricity from the Cape Wind project, Patrick responded with similar caution. "I think I'm right in that the answer is not knowable until the deal is struck," he told Clifford Carroll of South Yarmouth, a wind farm opponent who asked for the governor's help in ascertaining the future cost of electricity from Cape Wind.

Patrick says state is responding to Cape's needs
8/12/08 - Barnstable Patriot
...Responding to Carroll’s complaint that Cape Wind won’t say what its electricity will cost -- a sore point given the cancellation for financial reasons of other American offshore wind projects -- Patrick said those costs would emerge following negotiations with “the local cooperative,” a reference to the Cape Light Compact.
