Cape Cod Commission holding a meeting on Cape Wind's FEIR Arklow

Cape Cod Commission is holding a meeting on Monday, March 19, 2007 to hear
public comment on the adequacy of Cape Wind's Final Environmental Impact
Report (FEIR) which will then be part of the review currently underway by
the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA) office. Doors open at 5:30
pm. We urge you to attend the meeting to make your voice heard!

Who: Cape Cod Commission
What: To hear public input on the adequacy of Cape Wind's FEIR When: Monday
March 19th, 6:30pm; Doors open at 5:30pm
Where: Mattacheese Middle School, Higgins Crowell Rd., West Yarmouth, MA

In preparing your comments to MEPA it's useful to consider how the process
works. MEPA does not issue a permit; rather, MEPA is an informational
process whereby the Massachusetts Secretary of the Executive Office of
Environmental Affairs (EOEA) makes a Determination on whether or not the
Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) is Adequate for those state
agencies that need to make permit decisions.

Upon review, it is our belief the Cape Wind FEIR has adequately met the
conditions of additional information and analysis as outlined by Secretary
Herzfelder in her March 3, 2002 Certificate of Adequacy of the Draft
Environmental Impact Report. The report includes, among other things: a more
in depth analysis of alternative wind farm locations and configurations, two
additional years of avian study results, and a decommissioning plan to
remove the turbines should the project ever cease operation.

Cape Wind is entering its 6th year of permitting review and has already
undergone more scrutiny and review than any fossil fuel plants currently
operating in Massachusetts. Over 15,000 pages of review already produced by
the DEIS/DEIR/DRI issued in November 2004 and the Cape Wind FEIR are in line
with the recent findings out of Denmark conducted over eight years both pre
and post construction.

You can also submit a letter in support of Cape Wind's FEIR to MEPA from our
website. Comments are due by Thursday March 22, 2007.

The agency is already tracking bigger objects, at least 3,300 feet (1,005
meters) in diameter, that could wipe out most life on Earth, much like what
is theorized to have happened to dinosaurs 65 million years ago. But even
that search, which has spotted 769 asteroids and comets – none of which is
on course to hit Earth – is behind schedule. It's supposed to be complete by
the end of next year.

NASA needs to do more to locate other smaller, but still potentially
dangerous space bodies. While an Italian observatory is doing some work, the
United States is the only government with an asteroid-tracking program, NASA
said.
