[MassHistPres] Wind Power Bait and Switch

[Carol]

Friends: 



I'm quite surprised that I haven't heard comment here about the July 28, 2010, OPINION artical in the Globe entitled "The great wind power bait and switch". It was written by 2 Suffolk University economic professors (David G Tuerck and Jonathan Haughton) and describes the huge differences between what Cape Wind told us the cost to users would be (save $25 million a year), and what the actual cost might be. "Ratepayers could end up paying $82 million annually more than what they currently pay". Rather than give you all the details here, I have pasted a link to the Globe article below. It's well worth reading. (I understand money and costs in not what we usually write about here, but this info is a big part of the overall picture of this Cape Wind project!)
