The first U.S. offshore wind farm, a giant project off Nantucket Sound in Massachusetts, was approved today after nine years of wrangling, according to Reuters. U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar gave the green light for the controversial 130-turbine proposal from Cape Wind Associates LLC, subject to certain conditions designed to project offshore waters. "This project fits with the tradition of sustainable development in the area," Salazar said at a press conference in Boston.
