Cape Cod debates first US offshore wind farm

By Jason Szep

YARMOUTH, Massachusetts (Reuters) - A plan to build the world largest offshore wind-power farm off Massachusetts is dividing residents of the Cape Cod resort region, in a debate involving million-dollar ocean views, migrating birds and soaring energy bills.

Opponents seeking to block the $900 million project include Democratic Sen. Ted Kennedy, whose family’s Hyannisport compound is in sight of it. Kennedy’s brother, former president John F. Kennedy, created the Cape Cod National Seashore in 1961.

After several years of intense lobbying on both sides, many Cape Cod residents are deeply divided as Congress approaches a vote as early as next week that could effectively block the what would be the first U.S. offshore wind farm.
