BOX 1208 HYANNIS, MA 02601 OR E-MAIL TO letters@barnstablepatriot.com The federal Minerals Management Service is ac- cepting comments through the end of the month on how it should regulate alternate energy-related uses such as the proposed Cape Wind turbine field in Nantucket Sound. "Objectives of the new regulatory program are to provide access to the OCS (Outer Continental Shelf) in a way that balances com- peting and complementary uses of offshore acreage; ensures consultation with affected states and local governments; takes into ac- count the evolving nature of the energy industry; and provides a fair return to the United States for access to the OCS," according to an advisory from MMS. The agency is seeking comment on how it should handle access to OCS land and resources; environmen- tal information , manage- ment, and compliance; operational activities; pay- ments and revenues; and coordination and consulta- tion. Information about filing comments is available at www.mms.gov/ooc/ press/2005/pressl230.htm Help the rulemakers make the rules Ex-Cape Cod Times reporter Jack Coleman, who has criticized the way his former paper covered the wind farm project , has signed on as media consul- tant to Clean Power Now. The organization supports renewable energy efforts, specifically including the wind farm. A press release details some of Coleman's interest- ing life excursions, includ- ing six months as a deck- hand on a liquefied natural gas tanker. If that won't make you a supporter of alternative energy, nothing will! Jack's back EDWARD F MARONEY PHOTO WE CANMANAGE-Mass.AudubonDirector of Advocacy Jack Clarke,left,andstate Sen. Rob O'Leary ask the Cape Cod Commission last week to support ocean management legislation working its way through the Statehouse. O'Leary said the bill is "Cape Wind-neutral. Itdoes not inanywayattempt to deal with Cape Wind issues. It would create a plan for (zoning) state waters." Margo Fenn, the commission's executive director, warned members that "this commission is Cape Wind-neutral" as the project isadevelopment of regionalimpact under review. Theresa Barbo, director of communications for the Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies,said the Center does not support the legislation because of concerns that it will "severely compromise the (state) Ocean Sanctuaries Act." Clarke said that act was "well-intentioned, but it hasn't worked." The new law, he said, would "take it under the wing of ocean management and give it some teeth." WINDSOCK
