Online Public Relations Thoughts

.Another off cape person that does not get the fact that the wind farm will destroy Nantucket Sound and every beach that surrounds it. I attended every CCC hearinng.
CAPE WIND REFUSED TO PROVIDE KEY INFORMATION. An Oil spill response plan for the 40,000 gallons they want to put just off our beaches in the middle of our fishing grounds. Cape Cod is not Denmark and Cape Wind is not off shore, it is just off our beaches. The Cape Cod Commission did their job, Cape Wind is afraid to provide the information requested because in the end, the truth will kill Cape Wind, not some commission.
 

Cape Wind should worry more about the new SOS PR employee Clean Power Now's Barbara Hill. Her over the top and arrongant accusations against the CCC were a perfect example of just how out of touch with reality the Clean Power Now fanatics are.It was Jim Jones all over again.
With an enemy like her, SOS and the good people of Cape Cod that oppose this project don't need friends. Nice job Barbara!!
 

Interesting that when a project is not rubber stamped by a governmental body, as so many are, suddenly the developer becomes a so called victim. The Cape Cod Commission simply did its job by looking past Cape Wind's slick four color politically correct glossy brochure and found the holes in it. Holes that Cape Wind thinks it can cover up with finger-pointing and denial. Shame on them.
 

It is not nimby to ask for an open space plan, in fact it is quite typical and eventually Cape Wind has to give one.
Also, you need to learn the definition of the word hypocrisy.

Finally, the local boards of selectman and chambers of commerce have come out against CW. Cape wind needs to bend over backwards if it wants to get approved by the commission.

“If you like the Big Dig, you’ll love Cape Wind.” as the Big Dig whistleblower, Christy Mihos has said.
