Controversial Wind Farm Off Coast of Nantucket Receives Lease

The much contentious Cape Wind project in Nantucket Sound is moving forward.  The Department of Interior approved a lease for a commercial wind farm on the Outer Continental Shelf to Cape Wind Associates for its controversial 130-turbine project off of Nantucket Sound.  This marks the first commercial lease for a major wind energy project granted by the department, but Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said officials plan to “work with a consortium of states” to expedite the permitting process for more projects.

More information on the lease and the project can be found at the Cape Wind web site.
