Because were no pre-existing guidelines in place as far as competitive bidding etc...
EXACTLY, because Capelandgrab is exploiting a loophole in the guidelines. Should we say the Cart before the horse or horse's ***. The process should have guidelines in place before any applications reviewed. It should be treated just like all other industry leases, like the gas and oil leases. That is what makes our capitalist system work, competition. Which did not happen here. Can you say special interest lobbying?????

I think the point that Neil is making, is Horseshoe Shoals is a unique place, and if a windfarm was ever allowed to be built there, it should be competitively bid upon, not given to a private developer, for their personal profit, in a sweetheart, back door, special interest addition, to an energy bill. It should be like all other offshore leases, and competitively bid upon

How long should Saddam been able to snub his nose up at UN inspectors? 13 years wasn't enough time for him to comply? Let us not forget that the intelligence at the time, showed that Saddam had WMD's, and most in the country though the same. And even the disgrace of a senator (John Kerry) voted for the war, before he voted against it. It's easy to Monday morning quarterback the President, but don't say he dragged us into war under false pretense. The just plain Kerry-speak.

John Kerry is a disgrace to our State, it is a shame to have him represent us in Washington.

Our young men and women serving are educated, trained and sacrificing to serve their country. He's using them for his own political agenda....as usual.

And Jim Gordon and his investors live in a homeless shelter. I don't believe wind farms are going to be the answer to our energy independence. However, with the proper community involvement, and paying of fees to the communities affected, I would support it. But I don't support a developer using loopholes in regulatory framework, or no bid leases to make money for a private, for-profit developer at the expense of the community and taxpayers.

Of course, Deval Patrick offered his endorsement of Cape Wind thinking that it would be the first commercial wind "farm" in the U.S. And, Patrick demonstrates a predilection to support the scurrilous, and then "forget" about it.
That is very interesting Barbara, Deval does seem to be distancing himself from Capewind, He continues to mention renewable energy, but it must make you think the Senior Senator might have his ear about Capewind.

Windbag, nice to see you said START, because if capelandgrab ever got built, it would not shut down any other existing plants. Who's to say the existing plants will not keep running full bore to export electricity to other areas? how does that help us. Talk to me when you can come up with a project that would be reliable enough to shut down the dirty plants you talk of, because until then, you have not reduced any pollution for Southern Mass, but now we get destroy nantucket Sound too!

Please go look at it, and then realize that Southeastern Massachusetts Doesn't need new energy generation plants, because Southeastern Massachusetts is an electricity exporter. And other developers (unlike Capelandgrab) are smart enough to realize that Southeastern Massachusetts is a poor location for a new power generation facility, given documented congestion problems for grid connections.

lmc035@gmail.com we go back to how you expect to link up to the grid, without going into Mass state waters, That's going to be one long cable to RI. The developer is exploiting a loophole in federal waters, which is surrounded on all sides by state waters. Show me one other project in federal waters, that is then surrounded by state waters on all sides. This is a loophole that Capelandgrab is trying to exploit and we all know it.

"But now the ISO counts 38 projects representing 5,700 megawatts of new electrical capacity -- equal to 20 percent of the region's current peak summer demand -- that are either proposed, approved, or under construction. A thousand megawatts can meet the demand of about 750,000 homes."
So the great Stephen Peckham knows more about the NE electrical grid then the Chief Executive of ISO New England, Gordon van Welie.
That's what you want us to believe?
and that's why you are a Radical Extremist on this issue. because you only see the information and study results that you want to see. The Chief Executive from the power grind tells us we are all set, but we should believe Joe smo stephen peckham, because his knowledge of the electrical grid is more abundant than the Chief Executive of the grid.

Here is a quote from the article.
"Gordon van Welie, the chief executive of ISO, said in an interview that he is well aware that many of those plants will face long and potentially hopeless fights to get regulatory approval. But the overall ``pipeline" of power plant proposals is big enough, van Welie said, that he is considerably more confident that electric supplies will be sufficient to cover demand in the period between 2008 and 2010, and potentially beyond."

IF Capelandgrab ever got built, it will only reduce our oil imports by a very small percentage, so don't make it sound like we will not be importing oil. It would NOT shut down any power plants. Now there would be a need for more shipping . How would the turbines get to the sound??? Along with all the other materials needed to built it and maintain them. I have many concerns with this project, and the biggest one is the profiteering by a private for profit company at the expense of the public. If Jim Gordon and CW are the world savers that they claim to be, then they should offer to share the profit with the communities affected.

Did Deval Patrick Call Fishermen Drug Addicts?
I read in the Boston Globe Editorials today, that Chef Jasper White asked the candidates in last Monday nights gubernatorial debate, What the candidates would do to protect our farmers and fishermen, while promoting sustainable fishing and agriculture. Deval Patrick answered that he would consider it, in part, As a social issue, and that if the fishermen were treated for their alcohol and drug addictions, that would help resolve issues devastating the industry.
I guess my question is, did he REALLY say this????

Jack as much as I disagree with you on the cw project, I could not agree with you more on this subject. Monponsett why can't you believe that this war is Not about oil, but about terrorism. Did you not see what happen on 9/11. Is it that difficult for you to comprehend that there are, and have been many Islamic terrorist plotting to take down the USA anyway they can. Once we went into their safe place of Afghanistan, we had to remove the welcome mat from Iraq for them. Saddam gave us the opportunity by invading Kuwait and then stubbing his nose up at us and the UN for 13 years. We had a reason to go to Iraqi, and saddum would have nuke us if he got the capability. We removed that ability for him to get it. It's a little harder to go into North Korean with no reason and a country that already has nukes. and to say Bush mislead is easy now. but most all in the world believed saddam had WMD's and I still believe he did, flew those to Syria in stripped out commercial jets. but that is pure speculation on my part. I pray to god the terrorist don't get nukes, because that will be the end of us all.

Yes, YoungCaper, as Capri states this is not objective reporting in ANYWAY. It is mainly as Capewind Marketing arm. Try and find one article that does not try to show support to cape wind on this website. The closest you will come is they reported the Cape Codder Capewind poll and the survey did not favor capewind. They highlight the survey in a previous article, so I think they had no choice but to post them. However, they immediately put up another story saying the poll was invalid. There is no objective reporting on this site plain and simple.

Monponsett, you are way off the mark if you think Bush went to war to raise the price of oil. If it wasn't for 9/11, we would not be fighting this war. The rise in oil is the cause of many influences, and the war is one of them, but the president did not go to war to raise the price of oil. The war, Katrina, the change from MBTE to Ethanol, the growth and higher consumption of oil form china, Chavez being an unfriendly dictator, Iran's nuclear confrontation and that fact that oil had been relatively cheap for a while are few of the reasons, but bush did not go to war for oil.

The view issue I could care less about, it would not bother me one bit. That's just another marketing scheme by Cape Waterway Grab, to make the opponents look bad. Maybe some people would care about the view, but I'm not one of them, It's the rest of the issues, that makes me opposed to the project.

Capri, I agree That all any who oppose Cape Waterway Grab are to be commended, and Wayne was right there from the beginning. It's taking alot of effort to put on the fight this long, and with Cape Waterway Grab's deep pockets and appetite for Green Credit's they will stop at nothing to secure them. Thankfully they will fail.

That's right Stephen I do know the answers to those question. There are other locations that a windfarm could be built, but it would cost more money to build them in more remote areas I.E less profit for the world savers, ( and they would most likely be in state waters not federal waters, so they wouldn't be able to exploit the loophole of no offshore wind farm oversight), so they don't want to consider them.
And yes they will do anything to make a buck, pollution or no pollution, as long as they can make money, and receive tax money from the taxes payers too. Cape wind's kind of like John Kerry, they talk out of both sides of their mouth depending on who's listening. and what green credits they can exploit.

Answer me a couple of questions Jack.

2) If Cape Wind is such the good old Green Energy company, why are they trying to build a new fossil fuel power plant in Chelsea? It wouldn't be to take advantage of the tax credits, like they are doing in Nantucket sound? would it be?

Commie, ok buddy. That's what cape wind wants. Public waterways should be free for all the public to use, not for cape wind to steal for nothing, and then use for their financial gains. If a company is to come in and steal public land and/or waterway they should be paying the public for that use. They got a sweet heart special interest deal, a back door line put into an energy bill to stop it from going to a public bid, like all other leases are made to do. They will be raking in state and federal tax credits and subsidies far outweighing, any money they will be paying for the lease. If It is EVER built it should be a public bid.

You blind Cape Wind backers need to realize that the view issue is minor compared to the many other reason to be against this project. I outlined a few specific examples last week, in comments on the article about the change to the clause in the Coast Guard bill, But it's seems that whenever questions are asked that shed a dark light on Cape Wind, those article mysteriously disappear.

And what if this doesn't work and Cape wind just walks away. Although a decommissioning bond will be required, it has never been clear how it will be funded or how much it will be or if it will even be adequate, especially if the project has a shorter-than-expected operating life. There are many reasons to question this industrial complex on Horseshoes shoals, I could go on with more examples, but running out of space is becoming quite annoying.
As for enviros promoting the project, they seem committed to America's eat-anything-you-want energy diet. Not a whisper from them about the smartest and cheapest alternative of all--energy conservation. In the best of all possible scenarios Cape Wind will assuage about one percent of New England's energy demand, producing about 170 megawatts. But a study commissioned by the Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships reveals that achievable energy conservation could produce a demand saving of 4,317 megawatts by 2008. There are many unanswered question about this project, and Nantucket Sound is the wrong place for an experiment.

Why not START somewhere?... was your answer? I don't want to ruin Horseshoe shoals, one of the best fishing spots in Nantucket sound. In fact, the Sound has been designated as "Essential Fish Habitat" under the Fisheries Conservation and Management Act.

If I recall Cape Wind used a backroom lobbying effort to insert language into a energy bill that made it a no bid process. So I'd say that is a sweet heart deal, that equates to a give away. Why bid against yourself? Perhaps we should go back to why let a for profit company, take public land. And I asked a question before,( in another thread) that no Cape wind supporters wanted to touch.

CapeCodGuy That's a real good comparison. Street lights are not put in the middle of the road, they are put on the edges of the road. Obviously anyone can put the onus on the operator of the vessel, But in real world situations, a blanket statement from the Coast Guard rules book, doesn't tell the whole story. Ever since that rule went into effect, I'm sure no vessels have hit any other object, or other vessels.
And when the small private vessel avoid this area to stay away from the windmills, then it will push both private and commercial vessels in the same areas, where as if there are no windmills the private vessels will stay out of the larger shipping channels.
If Jim Gordon is doing this to save the world, As they market themselves, then he could give up some of his profits to run a longer cable to connect this project and move to a more remote location, such as Nantucket shoals.

Have any of you capewind supporters navigated a vessel in Nantucket Sound, in zero visibility. Trying to navigate thru that windfarm field in zero visibility will be extremely dangerous. The more targets on a radar screen, makes picking out smaller private vessels very difficult. No the ferries won't be in there, but it is a very busy area for smaller vessels. People will die as a result of these towers being built. A less populated area would make more sense, for the first US offshore windfarm experiment. Just because people line up against the Capewind project proposed for Horseshoe shoals, doesn't mean that we are against offshore wind farms, just against the Horseshoe shoal location.

seneca, You must be advising Capewind, because the shipping channel for ships bound for New York is about 70 miles south of the island, If a ship is that far off track, It's probably Jim Gordon and Mark Rogers piloting that ship. And the shipping channel on the East side of Nantucket, in the location of Nantucket shoals is probably 35 miles east of Nantucket. Those two location would be much better, I.E. in much less congested areas for Marine and Aviation safety. The only problem with those location it will cost more money to connect to the power grid. So Capewind says they are not feasible, because they won't be lining their pockets with their 20% return on investment. This is not about Capewind being the Friendly environmental company, this is about GREED and only GREED!
