Interior Secretary Approves Cape Wind, Nation's First Offshore Wind Farm

Unbelievable news. After a nine year battle, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar has approved the nation's first offshore wind farm. Plus the Secretary said that there will be more offshore wind farms to come. This will be great for the wind industry by creating more jobs in manufacturing, construction and operations and great for the people on the east coast who will now receive clean and renewable electricity. This is a big deal folks. The United States is now in the offshore wind business. Kudos to all of those involved over the last nine years to help bring this dream into a reality.
