...Cape Wind project would be that sort of win-win situation.The Cape Wind project has proposed to build 130 wind turbines in Nantucket Sound, the body of water south of the mainland of Cape Cod, bordered by Martha’s Vineyard to the west and Nantucket to the Southeast. When fully running, this project would meet three quarters of the electricity needs of Cape Cod and the islands.
