Cape Wind

It seems that Cape Wind is in its last stages of approval before construction can start. In an article I found on the Cape Wind website, officials pronounced that the project had cleared its last environmental review and the last step before construction can begin is for the new secretary of the interior to issue the final record of decision. Now this is a sticky situation for our new president. Obama has expressed strong support for wind energy but the biggest foe of the Cape wind project is senator Kennedy. Kennedy was a influential backer of Obama's presidential bid so when making the final decision Obama will have to choose sides among friends and political allies.

Wind Energy

During the course of this century our nation along with many other have been faced with an threatening energy crises. Many company's and work groups have been researching new technologies to lower our dependance on oil and other non-renewable resources. Not only are they looking to improve our environment but also strengthen our nations security. One solution we are starting to see more of is wind energy. Wind farms are starting to spring up in many states across our nation in attempts to improve our environment. This clean and renewable resource can still be harvested in many parts of our country including our bay's and oceans. Blue Water is actively seeking permission to build wind farms in Delaware's Bay. These are the kinds of thing that have to happen in order to fit our energy crisis.
