We know about the Cape Wind Project off of the shore of Cape Cod. This project will save 4.6 billion over 25 years. This project has been in the making for 9 years and has all the permits. But an Indian Tribe there has slowed down the final approval. This indian tribe claims it had an ancient burial ground on the site of this offshore project... That is strange, no? Anyways, Salazar said, if we can not get final approval of this by April, I will make sure of it. Well, thank God for that.
Now, it seems, their are other projects that are waiting, or want a site.
And Mr. Salazar is using his mite, with the full weight of the Obama adminstration. These Private companies are making a calculated risk that offshore wind farms are a great product.
Join me over the jump for discussion:
Here is Salazar's statement on other projects in the waiting:

Also, its website with updates on its outcome:

In addition to, One of those stalled projects are the Delaware project, owned by bluewater wind! Albeit, not as far along as Cape wind, Salazar thinks he can push these projects along quickly! Here is its website:

So, in retrospect, these Private Companies need a shot in the arm from the Federal Government to get them going, or find spots for its site. Hopefully, this will be seen as a victory for this adminstration. And it did not even have to go through the U.S. Congress. LOL!
