Cape Wind is proposing America’s first offshore wind farm on Horseshoe Shoal in Nantucket Sound. Miles from the nearest shore, 130 wind turbines will gracefully harness the wind to produce up to 420 megawatts of clean, renewable energy. In average winds, Cape Wind will provide three quarters of the Cape and Islands electricity needs.

thats pretty damn interesting. they'll have turbines sitting stand alone style in the water. nice.

btw, this topic reminds me of the wind farm in tug hill, we should drive up and see it this summer.
