[MassHistPres] ACHP Comments on the Cape Wind Project

[Diane Gilbert]

As far back as 2005, I have been saving all posts from MassHistPres in a
folder.  So I went looking for all references to Cape Wind and in between
many breaks to take up other matters, Cape Wind has come up off and on,
often and for years.  I save all posts because one never knows when an
interesting topic or hot issue will resurface or if I want to go back to
find out about any number of topics.

If anyone wants an old post from back in 2005 when there were many on Cape
Wind, even several with the suffix REDUX which tells me that participants on
the list serve have had a lot to say for a long time and not sure where we
are in 2010.  

So lots to review again with the benefit of being in 2010 rather than 2005.
