Windfarms Stir Up Controversy

The winds off Cape Cod, Mass., are some of the strongest in the country -- and now they're blowing a storm of controversy.

Developers have proposed trying to harness these mighty winds for energy by building a 170-turbine wind farm that could power half the homes on the Cape....

As classic a case of NIMBY (not in my backyard) as I've seen in a loooong time.
