Finally! US’ First Offshore Wind Farm OK’d by Interior

[Daox]

It really is about time. All the complaints about wind (noise, bird problems, etc.) is basically eliminated by putting them offshore. I also imagine output would be more consistent off shore.

When completed, the project will have the potential to generate 75 percent of the Cape & islands energy needs -- not only in the winter months when the wind resource is strongest, but as was was shown last year, Cape Wind will also be an integral part of smoothing out peak Summer demand.
