Some reasons that back up that claim are that Cape Wind can hurt the wildlife living there and affect tourism in the area. Many argue that the Cape Wind Project should be approved and built for many reasons. For starters‚ since the Cape Wind Project will produce renewable energy‚ it will help reduce greenhouse
