5.  offshore advantages aside, it's my understanding that per KWH produced, on land's MUCH cheaper
this was one point that RFK Jr made specifically. If you are talking about open land, far from any urban or suburban development, I DON'T think NIMBYism has to be such a problem. And though as an experiment, I can see oceanic energy, this is a proposed 120-130 turbine project. Cape Wind is for hundreds of turbines, with serious ecological implications MUCH MORE than onland wind energy generally is.

I would really like to see links to comparing KwH costs of production for various kinds of wind energy.
