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!)
