Instead of the standard view of ocean and sand, Cape Cod will soon be the site of the first offshore wind farm, Cape Wind: an ambitious project to build wind turbines in Nantucket Sound. On April 28, Interior Secretary Kenneth L. Salazar approved the project, a sign of the Obama administration’s support of alternative energy. We applaud this move—it shows a commitment to move away from fossil fuels, a priority that supersedes any of the drawbacks in this...
