The following are notes on a very brief update from Mark Rodgers on the state of the Cape Wind project.

It’s been a long road, but I am pleased to report that the pace is going to pick up remarkably. We expect by the this time next year, the permitting phase of Cape Wind will be over. The U.S. Minerals Management Service will be coming up with an environmental assessment for Cape Wind.

Ian Bowles has said that Cape Wind’s impact is akin to taking 175,000 cars off the road. The NRDC has said that Cape Wind is the largest supply side reduction of CO2 proposed anywhere in the U.S.

We look forward to moving this project forward.
