Interior Secretary Ken Salazar on Wednesday approved the nation's first offshore wind farm, signing off on a project that has split Cape Cod over the last nine years.
The 130 turbines are to be located several miles from the Massachusetts shore in the iconic waters of Nantucket Sound.
"I am approving the Cape Wind project," Salazar told reporters in Boston. "This will be the first of many projects up and down the coast."
