Another Delay

The Coast Guard has agreed to delay the release of its recommendation on Cape Wind for one month, to allow the public to comment on the radar study.

On Thursday, James Oberstar, a Congressman from Minnesota and chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, had written a letter to Thad Allen, the Coast Guard Commandant, requesting the delay. The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee oversees the Coast Guard, including its budget.

How this delay will affect the Minerals Management Service’s final environmental review remains up in the air.
