Group supporting Cape Wind plans

By Jaegun Lee TIMES STAFF WRITER TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2008 CAPE VINCENT — Wind power is the fastest growing electricity source in the U.S., said Beth A. White, chairwoman of Voters for Wind, a citizen's organization in support of the proposed Cape Vincent Wind Farm. "We have a chance to reduce the cost of energy and create a better future for our children," she said. "Many people are concerned with rising energy cost. It is the right thing to do."

 The relatively new group held a bake sale to raise money. On Saturday, organizers assembled a human wind sign to demonstrate their support of wind power at the Gauthier farm in Cape Vincent. The Cape Vincent Wind Farm is a proposed 210-megawatt project in the towns of Cape Vincent and Lyme. BP Alternative Energy, the project sponsor, proposes to build as many as 140 turbines.
