Cape Wind Responds to Department of Defense Report

FALMOUTH, MA -- Today’s Department of Defense (DOD) report is good news for Cape Wind.  The report clearly finds Cape Wind to be outside of the wind turbine offset zone being proposed for PAVE PAWS radar systems. 

Now the DOD has reached the same determination as the US Air Force – that Cape Wind will not negatively impact the Air Force PAVE PAWS radar system.  This report puts to rest in a final form any reasonable concern about this issue. 

Unfortunately, the organization that formed to oppose Cape Wind - the Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound (also called Save Our Sound) - is yet again resorting to fear-mongering to twist the findings of this report to suit their narrow agenda.

The reality is that projects like Cape Wind strengthen national security by making America more energy independent and less reliant on foreign sources of energy.
