There are endangered species present in Nanutucket Sound and Cape Wind poses a threat to them.

On April 21, 2008 US FWS provided to Dr. Cluck, Cape Wind Project Manager of MMS, this statement in their comments on the Cape Wind MMS DEIS:

"The current framework that MMS is proposing would forgo refinement of pre-construction study protocols and set in motion an adaptive management process that would be doomed to failure because effective techniques to perform post-construction monitoring simply do not exist."

US FWS DEIS comments indicate that MA Audubon's Adaptive Management condition of their support for Cape Wind, "Challenge" press release, is a fatally flawed $8 million dollar future service contract featuring tools that "do not exist". AM "sets in motion an adaptive management process that would be doomed to failure" is the statement of the federal regulator USFWS in their MMS Cape Wind DEIS response.

The world's largest turbine manufacturer, Vestas:

"Offshore wind represents less than one per cent of the wind energy market and that is likely to continue," he said. "The simple reason is that it costs double to build and operate an offshore farm – we just don't have the people and the cranes to do the job."

"The only way forward is more turbines in virgin ground onshore," he argued. " Politicians want offshore so they can avoid the Nimby discussion, but they are allowing a tiny minority to force the rest of the population to pay double for renewable energy."

And Cape Wind is a public safety hazard as proposed for Nantucket Sound. Read the navigators and airport officials testimony.

In case you're wondering, I'm not a NIMBY, I live in Central MA.
