amazngdrx :: Back to "Cape Wind", the debate continues.

Is there any proof that they will get a contract? Other than the assumption based upon the Altamont project? If funding for a monitering project went to individual scientists rather than Mass Audobon, would that cure any conflict of interest?

If not, how could monitering ever be acomplished without a conflict?

With modern GPS navigation and radar, why would Cape Wind be a navigational hazard?

Anyway, I remain in favor of moving wind power offshore out of sight and mind of NIMBYs and adding wave power to the floating platforms. planting them in the sea floor is just not a great idea. And as we have seen, it has delayed this project for a decade already.

We don't have time to litigate each offshore wind project for decades. The longer this environmental infighting continues the stronger the forces of the evil lord cheney of halliburton become.

They are assembling bribed legislators and officials to stop all offshore wind/wave power.

According to every industry and government source I've heard, commercial viability of deep water offshore wind is 10 to 15 years away - the stuff that can be built now (and financed) is closer to shore in more shallow water - let Cape Wind fight the good fight here - they might just win.

Actually there is a Norwegian model in operation now I believe. These can be deployed much faster than Cape Wind will take in decades of hearings and court battles.

Maybe 2 years? Floating offshore is the only large scale plan, otherwise NIMBYs kill them. Some new submerged wave machines have great promise. They don't show.
