A decade of permits and special interest battles, but the Cape wind project was approved today! This wind Farm will generate 75% of the Cape's Power when it is online in 2012~.
Governor Patrick showed up at an event with Ken Salazar, who gave the final approval!
Here is the article from the Boston Globe with video of event:

This is great news, the righties are going crazy up there. Anytime the righties go crazy, it must be a good day for America! This also opens up other offshore wind farms. Delaware has one waiting, and this should give it momentum. Five east coast governor's penned a letter to Salazar last week, advocating for the wind farm to be approved. Anything else would have put a damper on other East coast Wind Farms!
What do you all think?
