Majestic wind turbines will soon grace the tourist regions of Cape Cod, Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard

By Elena Christopoulos

First Wind Turbine in North America

After nine years, something absolutely wonderful has happened in Cape Cod. On the 28th of April, an off-shore wind farm project was approved by U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar.

Salazar called the project a first step in the nation's "clean energy revolution," and vowed, "This will be the first of many projects up and down the Atlantic coast." It is my hope that the west coast will soon follow suit as there are many opportunities for off-shore wind farms down the coast of Southern California.

The wind farm will include 130 wind turbines over a 24-square-mile area in the shallow waters of Nantucket Sound. This will take over 400 homes off the ‘grid' or some refer to it as becoming energy independent.

Why did this take nine years? It is answering the same questions that I was faced when placing the first urban wind turbine in North America, which was in downtown Toronto, Canada back in 1997.

Opponents of this exciting project are apparently appealing it in court. On a personal note, I would really like to know why. I know it is not the sound, nor the possible harm to birds, nor the energy production. Is the answer simply esthetics? Growing up in Europe I was exposed to windmills and turbines in Greece, Holland, Spain and Germany. As a child I was awestruck watching turbines spin blending so beautifully into the landscape. Am I wrong? Please let me know what you think.

"First, there is the power of the Wind, constantly exerted over the globe…. Here is an almost incalculable power at our disposal, yet how trifling the use we make of it! It only serves to turn a few mills, blow a few vessels across the ocean, and a few trivial ends besides. What a poor compliment do we pay to our indefatigable and energetic servant!"

— Henry David Thoreau, from Paradise (To Be) Regained [1843]

The Life Savers of Cape Cod $14.98 Overflowing with period photographs, illustrations, and maps, this book brings to life a unique age of heroism along the treacherous shores of Olde Cape Cod. In 1902, writer J. W. Dalton set out to visit each of the 13 U.S. Life-Saving Service stations on Cape Cod, from Wood End in the north to Monomoy Point in the south. This book is the result and remains the most minutely detailed account of station life at the high point of the service's existence. Dalton's research covers not only the history of the service and descriptions of each station, but also provides a paragraph on each and every keeper and surfman then serving along the Cape's seashore. He even includes entries on the names and habits of the stations' pets. Dalton even provides space for Keeper Seth Ellis of the Monomoy station to tell his version of the life-saving disaster of the previous March 17, of which Ellis was the only survivor.

Cod $12.99 A delightful romp through history with all its economic forces laid bare, Cod is the biography of a single species of fish, but it may as well be a world history with this humble fish as its recurring main character. Cod, it turns out, is the reason Europeans set sail across the Atlantic, and it is the only reason they could. What did the Vikings eat in icy Greenland and on the five expeditions to America recorded in the Icelandic sagas? Cod, frozen and dried in the frosty air, then broken into pieces and eaten like hardtack. What was the staple of the medieval diet? Cod again, sold salted by the Basques, an enigmatic people with a mysterious, unlimited supply of cod. As we make our way through the centuries of cod history, we also find a delicious legacy of recipes, and the tragic story of environmental failure, of depleted fishing stocks where once their numbers were legendary. In this lovely, thoughtful history, Mark Kurlansky ponders the question: Is the fish that changed the world forever changed by the world's folly?

#5 Cod Liver Oil 16 oz: HF $20.69 Not De-Stearinated (Fat Not Removed) Natural Source of Vitamin A& D Natural Source of the Long Chain Fatty Acids (EPA) Our unrefined Cod Liver Oil is a rich source of natural vitamin A, vitamin D, and the essential fatty acids: linoleic, linolenic, arachidonic, eicosapentaenoic (EPA), and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids. These nutrients are critical for normal metabolism, brain and nerve function, and protecting and building the immune system. EPA and DHA are long-chain, omega-3 fatty acids found in cold-water fish and marine mammals that support a healthy cardiovascular system. Nutritionists recommend supplementing the diet with a small amount of cod liver oil, especially during the winter months, to ensure adequate dietary intake of vitamins A and D.* Our Cod Liver Oil uses natural Norwegian cod liver oil derived from fish caught in open waters in the North Atlantic Ocean – away from sites of industrial pollution. In order to ensure that our Cod Liver Oil is safe for consumption, we routinely use an independent laboratory to test for heavy metals and environmental contaminants (such as organochlorides). Our oil is processed without the use of chemicals or heat. We purposely leave it unrefined, so it retains the natural balance of vitamins and fatty acids. We are NOT interested in refining out its natural "fishy" taste and smell at the expense of the natural nutritional content and balance.
