The Irish Wind Energy Truth Alliance has allies in the anti-wind farm movement in a couple of Massachusetts politicians: Senator Kennedy and Governor (& Presidential contender) Romney. They're both opposed to an off-shore 130 turbine wind farm off the coast of Cape Cod. Each turbine will be 440ft high and will be visible from the shore as they're only 6 miles out.
According to the article from the New York Sun MIT is conducting research into floating, tethered wind farms that can be located further out to sea. That would enable them to be placed beyond the visible range, which would probably ease the concerns of large shoreline property owners, such as Senator Kennedy.
