2008-07-15: Cohasset Wind Project in the News

CCI Energy's proposed project to build two 1.65 MW wind turbines in the town of Cohasset, MA, is the subject of an article in the Boston Globe today:

 

CCI Energy submitted a 70-page study on potential impacts of the project, prepared by consultants at Emergent Energy Group in Boston...

Sweeney said Monday that he has hired Tech Environmental of Waltham to do some additional study on the impacts.

"We'll also do another noise study in November, when the leaves are off the trees, to see the worst-case scenario for the neighbors," Sweeney said. "We want to work with the community."

As the article points out, some Cohasset residents strongly support this local wind power project:

Main Street resident Francis Collins has been outspoken in his support of the wind turbine project.

"I think this is something that's long overdue in Cohasset," Collins said. "It's a very benign way to generate energy. I'm a marine engineer, and I see these turbines all over the world, sometimes six or eight together."

 The article goes on to note that if CCI's special permits are approved, the turbines will be installed in the third quarter of 2009.
