I just wish that the people that will have to put up with looking and listening to it would benefit from it.

They say it will generate 3/4 of the power the cape needs, but then they tell you the power is going 'into the grid'. It will be a very small portion of what is in the grid, so while realistically there is more power to meet our needs the cape won't directly benefit from it. There are no guarantees the electric rates down there will even go down. Wonder what 140 turbines sound like with a 15+ mph sw wind blowing the sound onshore all summer.

Its too bad this has to be a for profit thing.
