Backed by the Obama administration's pledge to support renewable energy projects, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar appears poised to approve a controversial wind power installation off Cape Cod, Mass. "This dispute has been going on for almost a decade and illustrates the need to mitigate any environmental concerns or perceived intrusion by offshore wind farms," says Scott Deatherage of the Dallas office of Thompson & Knight. Among the proposals for the Cape Wind project is paint color that will blend with the horizon. "Increasingly both the public and the government want to promote renewable energy and address concerns about greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. Projects like Cape Wind and what we're seeing along the Texas Gulf Coast suggest that wind energy production and any impact on aesthetics and the environment can be balanced."
