The first offshore wind farm in the United States has been approved for off the coast of Cape Cod, according to this article in the NYT.  "The Cape Wind turbines would lie in Nantucket Sound, about five miles from the nearest shoreline, and cover 24 square miles, roughly the size of Manhattan. The tip of the highest blade of each turbine would reach 440 feet above the water."  Interesting ... and, congratulations!
