CAPE WIND: Support for Cape Wind is increasing amongst residents with support in the majority


From “3 in 5 on Cape Cod & Islands now approve wind farm” of Cape Cod Today:

Speaking on a media conference call Thursday, Opinion Research Corporation senior researcher Graham Hueber said “we tested six arguments used by Cape Wind opponents and none of them persuaded half or more of Cape and islands residents to join their ranks.

In some cases,” Hueber said, “including concerns about the potential impact on tourism and the regional economy, the opponents’ arguments actually boomerang against them and end up making most people more likely to support Cape Wind. This would appear to explain why only slightly over a third of Cape and island residents oppose Cape Wind today.”
