Rick,
The need for renewable energy sources is reaching a critical state. We (the US) are the world's biggest consumers of the planet's natural resources. Wind energy has already proven it's worth and in my limited knowledge of this proposed wind farm, the only dissenters are the NIMBYs (Not In My Back Yard) that live on the Cape near the site.
Unfortunately for them, this is not a case like the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge or offshore oil drilling. There is no evidence that the environment will be harmed or that it will affect the commercial fishing industry or the spawning runs, the ONLY argument they have is that it will be an eyesore. Sorry, but in my humble opinion, a small blemish 5 miles offshore that will provide such huge rewards to our current energy crisis (read: our Imperialistic blitzkreig for foreign oil) that it is well worth it.
Tell you friend thank you for working on such a worthy cause.
