Cape Wind construction could start by year's end
.
Barbara Hill, executive director of Clean Power Now, a nonprofit organization that supports renewable energy and Cape Wind, called on elected officials who had yet to take a stand on the project, such as U.S. Sen. John F. Kerry, to do so now that the project had received a favorable environmental report from the MMS.
.
Marty Aitkens, business consultant for International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 103, called the work that will be generated by Cape Wind "the perfect job at the perfect time."

From WP:
Obama has made alternative energy a cornerstone of his plan to revive the economy, and he reiterated that stance yesterday with a visit to an Ohio factory that makes parts for wind turbines. But one of his closest friends in Congress, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.), has been one of the most outspoken opponents of the Cape Wind project.
.
"I do not believe that this action by the Interior Department will be sustained," Kennedy said in a statement. "By taking this action, the Interior Department has virtually assured years of continued public conflict and contentious litigation."
Senator, it's time to lead for the public good and not preserve your view. It's time to support Cape Wind.
It's time to move forward with this project and generate jobs and clean energy!
