It has been a battle every step of the way. Cape Wind has been trying for eight years to install 130 wind turbines off the Cape in the Horseshoe Shoal and Nantucket Sound area to produce three quarters of the enough energy for cape and islands. Some on the cape are not in favor and have fought against it.
Over the years many hurdles have been dealt with, and just when things were looking good for this project to get started another hurdle. This time Massachusetts Historical Commission executive director Brona Simon sent a letter to the U.S. Minerals Management Service He wants the area to be a listed as a historic site given its ties to the Wampanoag.
Those wanting this clean energy and in favor of the wind farm are beyond frustrated at this point. Why wasn’t this issue brought up two, three, even six years ago? Those who don’t want the turbines to go up at all might be celebrating yet another delay.
What do you think? Is this power and influence buying delay after delay? Or should turbines be going up in the ocean off the shore of the cape at all?
Share your thoughts and we’ll talk about it today on WBZ News at 5pm.
