There was a short piece in the Boston Globe Sidekick section yesterday providing an decent overview of the proposed and pending wind turbine electric generating projects in Massachusetts. Check out the article called Blowing in the Wind. The latest is project to install a single turbine in Ipswich that would provide about 2% of the town's electricity. All in all, Massachusetts has been pretty slow to move forward with wind power, with much local opposition to the proposed 130 turbine project off the coast of Cape Cod and Nantucket. Especially given how windy it tends to be in the state, it is somewhat surprising that a greater effort has not been made to locate turbines. What else is going on with municipal-based wind turbine projects in New England?
