SUPPORT CAPE WIND FARM PROJECT TODAY!!!!

The Cape Wind project—a 130-turbine wind farm proposed for federal waters in Nantucket Sound—is under attack. If built, this source of clean, renewable energy would be the first of its kind in the United States. However, a last-minute provision inserted in the Coast Guard bill may put an end to this critical project. Cape Wind has already undergone five years of exhaustive reviews and has passed regulatory muster by state, regional, and federal authorities.
America needs clean energy sources that do not deplete our natural resources or destroy our environment. Please urge your senators and representative to oppose provisions in the Coast Guard bill that would stifle much needed development of clean, renewable offshore wind power.

HERE IS AN EMAIL/LETTER YOU CAN WRITE :

Dear Senator or Representative,
Please oppose provisions in the Coast Guard Authorization conference report that would stifle the country's first offshore wind development project--Cape Wind.
Cape Wind would produce enough clean, renewable energy to supply three-quarters of Cape Cod's energy needs.This project has already undergone exhaustive review and has passed regulatory muster by the Massachusetts Energy Facility Siting Board, the US Coast Guard, and the US Army Corps of Engineers. Without any hearing or debate, a special-interest provision inserted into this legislation would give the Governor of Massachusetts, who is opposed to Cape Wind, unilateral authority the kill it. This veto provision singles out the Cape Wind project and does not apply to other energy projects. This establishes an arbitrary barrier to a single project, not based on the merits of Cape Wind. I urge you to oppose provisions that would stifle this promising renewable energy development project.
