"FAA report says Cape Wind plan may pose hazard; Upgrades to radar system a possibility" by Martin Finucane, Globe Staff | February 14, 2009
Federal aviation officials issued a report yesterday saying that the Cape Wind project, which calls for erecting 130 wind turbines in Nantucket Sound, would pose a "presumed hazard" for airplanes because of interference with air traffic control radar systems....
The agency also opened the door to a solution for Cape Wind, suggesting that improvements to one of the three air traffic control radar systems that cover Nantucket Sound could solve the problems caused by the 440-foot-tall wind turbines.
The agency said an upgrade to the radar facility at Otis Air Force Base that would cost about $1.7 million might help. If that is insufficient, then a completely new system at Otis costing $12 million to $15 million would be needed, it said....
Yeah, just FORK OVER MORE CASH for that DAMNABLE GLOBAL-WARMING LIE, Amurka!!!
This next idea sounds like a good one to me, which is why I wonder where is the string:
"Oasys raises $10m for desalination" by Dave Copeland, Globe Correspondent | February 14, 2009
A Cambridge company developing an economical way to convert saltwater into drinking water said it has finalized $10 million in venture capital funding.
WTF? How come AGENDA-PUSHING PROJECTS can ALWAYS FIND FUNDING?!!!!
Oasys Water Inc. says it hopes to market a process that reduces by 90 percent the amount of energy needed to convert saltwater, compared with current methods that use reverse osmosis - the filtration of water through a membrane. The Oasys technique was initially developed by Yale University researchers.
"The major reason why this matters is we're running out of water resources," said Aaron Mandell, cofounder and chief executive of Oasys, as well as managing partner at GreatPoint Ventures, a Cambridge venture capital firm. "If you look at California - they're already losing jobs, and people are moving away, because there's isn't enough water in places like San Diego."

Oasys said the financing was led by venture capital firms Flagship Ventures of Cambridge, Advanced Technology Ventures of Waltham, and Draper Fisher Jurvetson of Menlo Park, Calif....
But YOU can't even get a LOAN, Amurkn!
