An element of the bill — designating Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, and many Cape Cod towns as “seasonal communities” — remains, and local officials are trying to figure out exactly what that would mean if it becomes law. @jbarnesnews capeandislands.org/local-news/202…

Future offshore wind projects off the Outer Cape are likely to use floating turbines anchored to the seafloor. That’s different from turbines currently being installed south of #MarthasVineyard. @jbarnesnews speaks with a civil engineer to learn more. capeandislands.org/local-news/202…


The big regional #offshorewind bids are in. See more about the tri-state bidding process here: @wcai_npr #RenewableEnergy #energy #climate instagram.com/reel/C5OaTQ1LW…

Cape Cod residents who object to the offshore wind plans for Massachusetts — in whole or in part — met for a four-hour conference Saturday in Hyannis. @jbarnesnews capeandislands.org/local-news/202…


Thanks, @GWSouthcoast and @NewBedford_MA, for showing me around. Fun feature highlighting a unique project.

Sen. Susan Moran, state senator for the Plymouth and Barnstable District, has decided not to run for reelection in '24. She says she's been asked to run for Clerk of Courts in Barnstable County because she'd work well with fellow Dems newly elected as DA and sheriff. @WCAI_NPR

The radioactive water inside the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station could evaporate into the air within several years — and before the dispute over safe disposal is ever resolved. #Plymouth #nuclear #pilgrim @wcai_npr capeandislands.org/local-news/202…

The Breuer cottage is arguably the most significant of about a hundred modern houses on #CapeCod. And now, its future hangs in the balance, because Tamas Breuer, who is 80 years old, has decided to sell. @jbarnesnews has the story. capeandislands.org/local-news/202…

Yarmouth residents packed a Board of Selectmen meeting last night to denounce the Healey administration’s placement of migrant families at a local motel. @jbarnesnews was there and spoke with one of those families. capeandislands.org/local-news/202…

A look at Tinkham Lane in #Mattapoisett, where Highway Department employees were working Tuesday to clear trees knocked down by the #tornado. The trees were blocking the way to a regional water treatment plant. Nearby homes also had trees down. ⁦@WCAI_NPR

A scientist who studies radioactive elements in the ocean says the water inside the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station is highly contaminated and should not be released without an extensive cleanup. @jbarnesnews and @Slow_News_Day discuss on Morning Edition. capeandislands.org/local-news/202…


The first vessel carrying turbine parts for Vineyard Wind is in New Bedford Harbor. When I say “backing up,” that’s it behind me in the video. #offshorewind@WCAI_NPR
