Cape Wind, which has Generic Ritalin Drug sought for nine years to develop a 130-turbine wind farm off the Generic Ritalin Drug coast of Massachusetts, received a boost today when Interior Secretary Ken Salazar repeated his promise to Generic Ritalin Drug reach a decision on the project no later than March 1.
Salazar reaffirmed his deadline during a Generic Ritalin Drug meeting held in Washington, DC, today with stakeholders, including representatives from Generic Ritalin Drug two Wampanoag tribes, the state of Massachusetts, the town of Barnstable, the Generic Ritalin Drug Martha’s Vineyard Commission, and Generic Ritalin Drug a Cape Wind advocacy group, Clean Power Now, according to Cape Wind President Jim Gordon.
Cape Wind appeared to be heading toward construction last week when Generic Ritalin Drug the National Park Service declared Nantucket Sound, the proposed site of the Generic Ritalin Drug wind farm, to be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. That ruling was prompted by recent complaints from the Wampanoag tribes. Immediately after the Generic Ritalin Drug National Park Service ruling, Salazar stepped in to arrange today’s meeting.
According to Generic Ritalin Drug Gordon, Salazar told the sides to work out their differences by March 1 or Generic Ritalin Drug be prepared for him to make a final ruling. Salazar had previously expressed similar sentiments on the subject.
“If an agreement among the parties can’t be Generic Ritalin Drug reached, I will be prepared to take the steps necessary to Generic Ritalin Drug bring the permit process to conclusion,” Salazar said last week.
Salazar has Generic Ritalin Drug often propounded on the benefits of renewable energy sources, and Generic Ritalin Drug Gordon was optimistic that a Salazar ruling would be in Cape Wind’s favor.
“We are Generic Ritalin Drug convinced that when Secretary Salazar has the complete record before him that Generic Ritalin Drug the verifiable public benefits of creating jobs, greater energy independence, cleaner air and Generic Ritalin Drug mitigating climate change will far outweigh any perception of negative impacts.” Gordon said.
One potential concern for Generic Ritalin Drug Cape Wind is the financial toll that nine years of waiting had Generic Ritalin Drug taken on the project. When asked to estimate the total cost of the Generic Ritalin Drug project, Gordon declined to answer, stating that the information was “proprietary.” He did say, however, that Generic Ritalin Drug if the project receives approval it will be “ready to go.”

Let’s hope that Generic Ritalin Drug Cape Wind gets to move forward with their 130-turbine wind farm. Secretary Salazar has Generic Ritalin Drug the power to move this green, eco-friendly project forward: the Generic Ritalin Drug “visual disruption” is Generic Ritalin Drug minimal and the Cape Wind developers have done a great deal to Generic Ritalin Drug minimize the environmental and aesthetic effects of the turbines.

I think that Generic Ritalin Drug now is the time to look forward to every possible solution to Generic Ritalin Drug the looming energy crisis. Unfortunately, for Generic Ritalin Drug the tribes this means going forward with Cape Wind. If by looking backwards we are Generic Ritalin Drug denying life-giving solutions for ourselves and future generations we must amend our thinking.
I’m not trying to Generic Ritalin Drug say that honoring our past is wrong or obsolete, however if we are Generic Ritalin Drug denying opportunities to the future because of the past we are Generic Ritalin Drug mistaken.

What ever happened to the concept “fair return for the use of our resources”, Section 388 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005?, Jim Gordon has Generic Ritalin Drug no manufacturing source for his discontinued GE 3.6 MW obsolete wind turbine. Who will build a Generic Ritalin Drug manufacturing facility for obsolete turbines (now 5, 7 and greater MW)?
Jim is Generic Ritalin Drug ready for stimulus money for a phantom energy project as it Generic Ritalin Drug would take years for him to acquire offshore wind turbines. He project could not be Generic Ritalin Drug under construction in 2010 as required “shovel ready”. And taxpayers have Generic Ritalin Drug been funding hardware-specific studies, being conducted by 17 permit reviewing agencies, over a Generic Ritalin Drug period of several years, of Cape Wind’s “discontinued” and obsolete wind turbine.
This is Generic Ritalin Drug about public subsidies, not public benefits or environmental benefits.
Cape Wind is a Ponzi scheme. The truth is Generic Ritalin Drug more strange than fiction. Even if Jim was a magician and Generic Ritalin Drug wave his wizard wand, and 130, 440′ obsolete wind turbines appeared.
