Cape Wind Project Clears another major hurdle

CAPE WIND MOVES FORWARD IN PERMITTING PROCESS
Friday, March 30 - Today Massachusetts Secretary of the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs Ian Bowles issued a Determination of Adequacy on Cape Wind’s Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR). Cape Wind President Jim Gordon was pleased with the news, “The Agency’s favorable decision on Cape Wind reflects the fact that our economic and environmental future is best served by rising to the challenges of energy independence and climate change.

Today’s decision brings Cape Wind and the benefits of new jobs, a healthier environment and greater energy security one step closer to the people of Massachusetts and the region.” The FEIR responded to information requests that were part of the Certificate on the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) and it also included responses to all other comments submitted on the DEIR. If the project is approved it will establish Massachusetts as a worldwide leader in offshore renewable energy creating hundreds of new jobs and helping to catalyze new opportunities for the marine scientific, engineering and construction industries.

The Cape Wind Project was the first offshore wind energy project proposed in the United States and it is now the first such project to have a certified final environmental impact document.CLICK HERE to read The full statement read by Secretary Bowles at a 3/30/07 news conference on the public release of the Cape Wind MEPA Certificate.Thank you for your continued support.
