Wind energy close to home, specifically on the Cape, is on a tight time schedule. Due to time restrictions, the multi-turbine offshore wind energy project must be completed by the end of this year in order to receive a federal tax credit of $200 million. The wind farm lies in danger of losing its funding, and stands facing an uncertain future. These turbines have the potential to produce more than half of the electricity for the Cape and its surrounding islands. The project has faced much opposition, with members of various groups and even individual families strongly opposing and fighting the $2.6 billion project.
