Concerns About Cape Wind Prompt Demand for Alternative Process

The federal Minerals Management Service has received an unprecedented 40,000-plus public comments on the draft environmental impact statement for the “stalled” Cape Wind project, as it is described by one media outlet. Dozens of key groups and government agencies criticized the draft document which glossed over many of the serious threats the Cape Wind project would pose to public safety, marine wildlife and habitats, tribal and historic resources, commercial fisheries, and the local economy.
