POLITICALPOTPOURRI CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:5 and Means. In separatereleases, the reps announced they had signed a letter to the Committee urg- ing that action. Perry noted that "a modest state income tax credit is the appropriate impetus to encourage land owners to voluntarily preserve natural resources that they might otherwise be unable or unwilling to protect. " Turkington, a cosponsor of the Act, said the state Depart- ment of Revenue had found that the Act "would have anegligible impact on state revenues. Patrick blasts baby formula push He saw it in Ghana in 1972 as a Peace Corps volunteer, and didn't care for it there. Now state Rep. Matt Patrickis callingon Gov. Mitt Romney to pull the plug on a pilot project to give mothers gift bags with infant formula as they leave hospitals in Massachusetts. "The more women use formula and the less they breastfeed , the more they and their babies will suffer acute and chronic diseases and conditions throughout their lives," the Falmouth Democrat wrote to the governor. As of last week, some Boston hospitals had already moved to end the practice. Gas attack A bill that would add Massachu- settstothe listof neighboringstates that have endorsed the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative has survived a first cut and is in the handsofthe SenateWaysand Means Committee, state Sen. Rob O'Leary announced last week. Cape Light Compact CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:1 by Audra Parker of the Alli- ance. Gordon said the Draft Environmental Impact State- ment issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers showed "significant public interest benefit" resulting from the project. When her turn came, Parker said the DEIS has been faulted by the federal Envi- ronmental Protection Agency, among others. Gordon stressed his de- cades of experience in energy production in New England , and questioned what the Alliance has done to further the cause of renewable en- ergy. Parker said her group is interested in work by the Massachusetts Technology Council on deep-water tur- bines twice as far away from land as the Cape Wind site on Horseshoe Shoal. Referring to a letter from the power pool operator for New England, which criticized Congressional attempts to give the Massachusetts gov- ernor veto power over wind projects in the Sound, Gordon said the New England pool operator and the state facili- ties siting board see the need for less reliance on gas-fired plants and a greater supply of renewable energy in the mix. Gordon sketched the man- ner in which he believes Cape Wind would reduce the cost of electricity, noting that the power pool ranks bids for each hour it requires based on price. Cape Wind, he said, would come in with a zero cost (he didn't say it , but wind is free). It could not provide all the electricity needed in that hour, so the pool would have to keep taking higher bids until it satisfied its needs. Once that level is reached , Gordon said, all suppliers are paid that highest rate, regardless of the number they bid. Traditional plants that are more expensive to operate might be cut off the top of the "stack" of bids and thus go off line for that hour, according to Gordon. That means they would not be polluting as they produced. When Parker 's turn came, she hit hard on the public safety concerns surrounding the project , ranging from air and shipping routes to poten- tial interference with radar operation. She objected to Gordon'sstatement that Cape Wind turbines and equipment would only take up a small portion of the 24 square miles over which they would be spread. "That' s like saying a goli course is the sum total of its holes," Parker said. Parker defended the amend- ment to the Coast Guard re- authorization bill that would give the Massachusetts gov- ernor veto power. She said the state had designated Nantucket Sound an ocean sanctuary where energy gen- eration is not allowed, yet due to a technicality a small "hole" in the center of the Sound is under federal control and thus vulnerable to such development. The alternative to Cape Wind , according to Parker, is energy efficiency for the short- term while deep sea wind technology is tested. The Compact will meet again June 14 at 2 p.m. in rooms 11 and 12 at Barnstable Superior Court House.
