Cape Wind Takes Another Blow
This just in: the EPA, an agency that played a significant role in the high visibility Army Corps of Engineers report that overwelmingly favorite construction of the product, has done an about face. It's calling the massive Army report inadequate and saying more studies need to be performed, particularly on the wind turbines' potential to harm birds.
While AEman has concerns about the efficacy of wind power to solve a signifant percentage of our future power needs, the tactics used by the Cape Wind opponents must be driving Cape Winders bat shit. They are using the fed agency most clostly aligned with protecting the environment to thwart a project, the main aim of which is to protect the environment. Too bad the EPA has no balls.
