Don’t get too exercised.  I’m sure there will be court challenges.  It’s early days yet.

This was on my CNN home page today.  Just breaks my heart!

 

 Interior Secretary Ken Salazar on Wednesday approved the nation's first offshore wind farm, signing off on a project that has bitterly divided Cape Cod over the last nine years.

 

The 130 turbines are to be located several miles from the Massachusetts shore in the iconic waters of Nantucket Sound. The interior secretary said Cape Wind, as the project is known, is the start of a "new energy frontier."
