I liked this article because we learned in this class how much exactly our ecological footprint is. I myself use a lot of electricity and from what the ecological footprint website said it would take about 3.9 planets to support my footprint but by having turbines and using the Cape's Wind. This may be a cheaper and more efficient way for using power it saves on electicrty which lowers the footprint. The problems are the price and the problems of putting some many turbines out there in the water.
I feel using electricity the way we use it now will become a obsolete form in energy for mankind and used as a back up if all else fails. This may happen in the next 20 years this could happen now and be put in the Nantucket sound.
During industrialization in American they used water and a wheel type device for water to power factors and it worked to have mills and produce. So now its time to use a energy source like tha, but in this case wind to power homes on Cape and Islands and eventually farther.
