Traditional Cape Cod views are inching closer to a little exterior remodeling. The Cape Cod Wind Farm Project, which has been paralyzed in a heated debate between numerous advocates and a few notable protesters, is soon to win the added support of the Bush administration. With this increase in federal backing, the project has reached the point at which talk must end and action must start. Given that the project has been proven to provide a substantial amount of energy with limited environmental impact, the proposal put forth by Cape Wind, the company that would build this wind farm...
...real roadblocks to approving the wind farm have always had to do with bigger obstacles than the flora and fauna of the surrounding area. The biggest barrier has been a classic “not in my backyard” mentality. Many Cape Cod residents protested against the farm, arguing that these wind turbines will tarnish their ocean views, thereby lowering their property values.

...globe in your club’s private hovercraft, Prestige and Mobility will go the extra mile. For example, be conventional.

And while the best way to spur vitamin D production in the body is exposure to sunlight - typically about 10 or 15 minutes at a time a few times a week...
This isn't Britain's first run-in with Iceland. The so-called Cod Wars over fishing rights in the North Atlantic led to hostile engagements between British and Icelandic fishing fleets and naval vessels, with nets being cut and boats being rammed, ending in the 1970s with an agreement that many British fishermen still blame for limiting their catches. If Brown fails to retrieve British cash from Iceland, a wider swath of the population - all British taxpayers, in fact - will feel the effects this time around. His chancellor, Alistair Darling, promised U.K.-based private investors on Wednesday that...
