NY Times urges Mass. to reject tribal claim on Cape Wind
The saga of the long approval process for the Cape Wind project offshore Massachusetts may be ending soon, or maybe not. We still not heard from Massachusetts officials whether they will delay the project further in order to consider a claim by native American groups that Nantucket Sound should be declared a sacred burial ground and off limits to developers. Today a New York Times editorial urged the state to reject this claim.

The Times said,
Quote :
Tribal officials say their culture requires them to greet the sunrise each day and that this ritual requires unobstructed views. Their claim should be rejected by the responsible federal and state officials. Another round of bureaucratic reviews would drag out an approval process that has gone on much too long and give opponents time to find some other way to derail the effort...In Europe, wind farms are a familiar sight. If this country is going to do its part to address climate change, they must become more common, and welcome, here.
