FYI GE and Siemens are not the only companies developing offshore wind turbines. Clipper wind is looking to develop a 7.5 MW offshore turbine... more companies will follow if Cape Wind gets approved http://www.clipperwind.com/pr_100807.html

10 years... he must have stopped paying bribes to someone

3 words to solve the problem
SOLAR THERMAL HEATING
put the black panels on the roofs and heat your house with the hot water they produce.

Carl - to say that offshore wind produces twice the wind as land based is just not true. The wind resource is extremely site specific and if you look at provincetown versus the proposed cape wind location you will clearly see both are class 5 and class 6 wind resource. With the new vestas report stating the high cost of ocean based wind, land based projects will be more economical even with lower wind speed. I have and still do advocate the construction of wind turbines on the cape cod national seashore because of its excellent wind resource. Many will disagree but I think we must look at developing wind energy from a resource potential and use the best sites first.
Remember a multi megawatt turbine has a certain numer of hours of operation in its lifetime. Higher wind means more wear and tear and shorter life...

first the fluoride stupidity.. now this
the town of yarmouth board of health should take their you know whats out of their you know wheres... reminds me of Christy Mihos's cartoon

I have heard you are easily shocked

some people can't handle their drug addictions...even lawyers

I errr um was against the arr windfahms before I err um was for them...

I drove by right after that accident happened. You cant drive 70mph on that corner...

Peter
your lack of understanding shows.
Cape Wind is a must run facility and will always bid ZERO which in turn will pull the price stack down by the amount of MW's it produces during that hour of bidding.

I support this project, but I wouldnt buy a used car from this man... grates on my nerves that this washashore took this project away from cape codders.

Peter only want HIS ideas implemented... everyone else's are inferior. Like his overpriced PV panels on town halls....

in chicken little voice...'The windmills are coming! The windmills are coming!!"

I have to say hello to Alliance employees that have posted here and wish them good luck...

when you cant use science just resort to rhetoric and innuendo.. dont worry you can always raise millions more for the coming lawsuits.

didnt Barbara go to the same school as George...hmmmm...*scratches chin*

wow..17 months at prevailing wage...just to sit around and wait for future work...

this is whats wrong with the system people...no accountability

Radio show? ask Peter about getting banned from C3TV for being a PITA

dp-what the hell is that suppossed to mean?

but you still make electricity even if your solar panels are on the north side of the house. Everyone knows the higher you go the more wind you get...and your point is?
Christy can spend his money on wind turbines, a new house in Greece or give it to the Alliance...its his money

you cant build a windfarm 5 miles out to see because of the noise...but just ignore that airport in the backyard

Hey Monponsett
when they start construction why dont you go down to the jobsite and tell each and every worker that they dont deserve to be there because of the birds...or the view

hang them pot smokers...dam dopers should all be shot!

do you think I can still get a dumpster from Reine??

In Ted Kennedys voice...
"I err was working against the windfarm ...err before I was working for it..."

speak to the hook fishermans association... its the draggermen with their non sustainable fishing that are against the windfarm

He's all for wind energy... as long as he makes money from it... can you say hypocrite?

jay Cashman - stands behind his work, he just wont stand under it

Carl- I have no problem with peoples opinions, however when they start using mathematics they had dam well get their numbers correct.
Setting aside the capacity factor(you better know that means) of Christys turbines or Cape Winds turbines you have your numbers way off.
Christy has 3 1.5 kilowatts turbines for an installed capacity of 4.5 kilowatts.
Cape Wind will have an installed capacity of 420 megawatts of installed capacity...with me so far?? or you can think of it as 420,000,000 watts and 4500 watts if thats easier. Now divide 420,000,000 by 4500 and you get?? 93333.33
Now you claim to be an expert and yet you said 2 million turbines would be needed...
Now while you "may" be correct that they are a bit low you must realize that Christy had ZERO chance of installing a typical tower of say 100ft on his property. why do I say this? because you always need to have a "fall zone" of at least the height of the tower in every direction, and the fall zone must be in control of the owner. The property at Cristys is much to small. as for 30% production.. whats his monthly bill?

phosphate causes problems in fresh water and nitrogen causes problems in salt water... got it?

can you say sour grapes... you got a long way to go before you become elected in any capacity other than dog catcher

lol... water mains are almost always in the road or on the median thus the need for vests. The bucket is operating thus the need for hard hats. Ill give you the ladder and box... but I bet they werent there on the jobsite. I can see the stainless steel repair clamp on the ground so they are about ready to jump in the trench.
There were many times I didnt have every single piece of required equipment on the jobsite, just the way it is...

No safety helmets, no reflective vests, no trench box and I dont see a ladder... whos in charge there? OSHA only fines private companies...I almost forgot

excuse me?? I didnt copy your name I use this name on other sites..(unmentionable here) get over yourself you clown.

Instead of you all saying what a wonderful person Kenney is look at his personal record and you will be surprised.

destroy Nantucket sound??

since glaciers created Nantucket exactly how will some wind turbines destroy it??

someone needs to research Mr Kennys history... like his lack of financial support of his children.

errr Im ah was foh the windmills befow I was against em...hiccup

Windmills on the rooftops not in the ocean!!

Glenn "King of Coal" Wattley is now leading the helm at the USS Save our Sound coal barge.... how fitting

wheres dona to cry about the birds?

Kenny is a bum who cant even support his children.
