00:00If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air

00:12Free power!
00:13What do we want?
00:14Now!
00:15Quaint little villages here and there
00:20Free peace! These are the fishermen that you're trying to put out of business!
00:23You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod
00:31Old Cape Cod, that old Cape Cod
00:36Cape Cod is a proposal to put up 130, 400 foot tall wind turbines
00:42in the middle of Nantucket Sound
00:44a storied body of water bound by three major summer resort areas
00:50Cape Cod, Nantucket, and the island of Martha's Vineyard
00:54Winding roads that seem to beckon in
00:59All hell broke loose when this energy entrepreneur called Jim Gordon suggested

01:18We're talking about a political storm of human creation

01:50This is, this is great!
01:56This isn't fair!

02:10Cape Wind will be built
02:14It's never going to get built
02:15And I can't wait
02:16Build the goddamn wind farm
02:18It's going to end when they either quit
02:20Or we just beat them to death
02:22But this project's going down
