A project named in our report of "worst-sited" for birds is no more: Cape Wind, which aimed to place 130 turbines in Nantucket Sound. This is great news for birds, including endangered Roseate Terns and Piping Plovers. . Congrats to Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound and others who worked long and hard for this outcome. We're all for renewable energy, but not in vitally important places for birds like this! .
