Interior Secretary Pays Visit to Wampanoags |

Federal Interior Secretary Kenneth Salazar came to the Vineyard and
Cape Cod on Tuesday to consult with Indian tribes opposed to the Cape
Wind development, then held a press conference on the wind farm site in
Nantucket Sound to say that the meetings had not decisively moved his
view of the project.
Secretary Salazar said he was “very bullish” about the future of offshore wind energy in general, but that all options were still open regarding Cape Wind’s plan to build 130 turbines on Horseshoe Shoal. “The conclusion might be that we will simply deny the application, or on the other hand that we will approve the application with conditions,” he told a gaggle of reporters gathered on the foredeck of the Coast Guard vessel Ida Lewis as it stood off a meteorological tower built by Cape Wind in Nantucket Sound. |
