This sure makes that plan to put a wind farm off Nantucket Sound look a lot less controversial, eh?
In fact, the Federal approval of "Cape Wind" may add momentum to other similar proposed wind farms in Maryland, Delaware, Texas, the Great Lakes and other areas. The bad PR from this disaster also will hopefully drive public sentiment further in the direction of moving away from dependence on fossil fuels.
It saddens me to learn that if the oil makes its way into the mud of the Gulf Coast and Mississippi Delta that there is no way to clean it out, and it will take 10 to 20 years of toxic seepage before it will clear itself out.
