There has been a proposal to build a wind farm of the coast of MA (Cape Wind). Folks like Kennedy want to prevent it from happening because it will ruin the view. From 7 miles they would just be little specks. They would also generate about 4/5ths of the power for all of Cape Cod. I've seen estimates that range from $.12.5-.20 per kilowatt hour for this project.
It's funny how people run around saying we need alternate energy, but only if it goes in someone elses back yard.
