Chasing a Legacy trailer

Nantucket Sound is one of those places where the history, heritage and habitat cannot afford a 44 story 25 square mile steel forest for the pure profit by a private developer using our public lands and fishing grounds. Cliff Carroll, Cape Cod Resident

Both of which have filed formal protest with the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Interior Department. Even MMS has stated the cost of producing this electricity is twice what Cape Cod currently pays and that is after the $80,000,000 a year in federal and state handouts. There are perfect places for wind and there are places that are inappropriate where the tradeoffs do not add up.

The FAA has ruled it a Presumed Hazard because it is directly in the flight paths of 400,000 flights a year. Cape Wind is putting a 40,000 gallon transformer oil filled platform in the middle of our fishing grounds just off our virgin beaches which are the economic engine for our Cape Cod Community. Even the EPA is questioning the data provided by the developer. This project is also going to decimate the ancient ritual grounds of the federally recognized Wampanoag and Aquinnah Indian Tribes,

It is nice to see your local area and residents benefiting directly from this project. However there is no comparison to the 25 square mile wind plant proposed just off the beaches of Cape Cod. Cape Wind , the size of the island of Manhattan is taking our tax dollars, taking our fishing grounds and killing our crop which is tourism and fishing. The USCG has already told us they will be closing the rich fishing grounds once it is built.
