The ideal newspaper should be "irreverent, rash, feisty, and really care." - Jim BellowsJay Cashman files application for wind farms
According to a story in today's Standard-Times, Jay Cashman has filed his applications for the three wind farms in Buzzards Bay as he stated he would.
Here's the S-T story;
A Quincy developer yesterday applied for state approval to build a $750 million offshore wind farm with 90 to 120 turbines in Buzzards Bay.
The turbines would provide an energy source equal to 2 percent of the current statewide electrical energy consumption, according to the application filed with the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs, which will begin a review process.
Under the Buzzards Bay proposal, windmills 400 feet high would be built 3 to 4 miles off the coast of Sconticut Neck in Fairhaven, Barneys Joy in Dartmouth and Naushon Island, one of the Elizabeth Islands. The plan was first reported by The Standard-Times last week.
