Cape Wind approved

After nine years of review and a recent delay due to Wampanoag objections, Cape Wind has been approved by SOI Ken Salazar. I found this quote from Scott Brown interesting:

US Senator Scott Brown criticized Salazar’s decision, saying it was “misguided.”
.
“With unemployment hovering near ten percent in Massachusetts, the Cape Wind project will jeopardize industries that are vital to the Cape’s economy, such as tourism and fishing, and will also impact aviation safety and the rights of the Native American tribes in the area. I am also skeptical about the cost-savings and job number predictions we have heard from proponents of the project,” Brown said in a statement.

More to love about Scott Brown. I’m trying to give this guy a chance but he’s not making it easy. He’s starting to look like a cookie cutter just say no Republican – most recently opposing financial reform. I wonder if Brown thinks that stopping a Middleboro casino will impact tribal rights.
