Cashman to pursue Buzzards Bay projects
Wind farm developer to seek help in Legislature;
Cashman to pursue bill to clarify law to make sure turbine project is allowed
The developer of a proposed wind farm for Buzzards Bay plans to seek legislation to clarify an existing state law to ensure its renewable energy project can move forward.
Todd Presson, director of wind energy development at Jay Cashman Inc. in Cambridge, said he expects the construction company will pursue legislation next year that would allow the South Coast Wind project, which calls for 90 to 120 turbines off the coasts of Fairhaven, Dartmouth and the Elizabeth Islands in Buzzards Bay...
But the state law is unclear: One section doesn’t allow for any structures to be built on the seabed or for offshore power plants in such sanctuaries, while another section appears to make an exception for energy generation, distribution and transmission projects. Unfortunately for Jay Cashman Inc., state regulators recently ruled that the law does not allow the Buzzards Bay project...
The story in today's Patriot Ledger goes on to quote Sen. Mark Montigny, a Democrat from New Bedford, saying he was happy to learn that the Legislature will have a role to play in the project. He added that he prefers the Cape Wind project... because there’s more room in that body of water for turbines but recognizes that some windmills may be appropriate for Buzzards Bay.

Ive seen the company website and they have the transmission lines running rigth up the middle of a saltwater estuary... at least Cape Wind has hired professionals who knew enough to go into federal waters, get a lease to cross a privately owned beach and isnt trying to get any laws changed to actually build the things... more money than common sense
