Cape Cod wind farm

There is currently a lot of debate about putting a wind farm up in Cape Cod. And the top reason for opposing it is the views it will cause that would drive away tourists. While it’s hard for me to step outside my environmental views on this one, I still find it hard to believe tourists wouldn’t come because of this. I actually think it would make some kind of a landmark. The windmills are 6 miles offshore, and supposedly will look “like a spec.” I’ve got to think that it comes down to providing 400,000 homes with renewable energy, and saving a whole load of carbon emissions. I think it’s a great project, and hope that Ted Kennedy and Mitt Romney will allow this one to go through.
