Klein/Johnson Group reps the Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound, the Hyannis-based non-profit that spearheaded the opposition to the Cape Wind offshore energy project.
The Alliance was formed in 2002 in response to CW’s proposals to build a 25-square-mile energy project. It expressed concerns about diminished water quality, coastal erosion, habitat degradation, and other effects of climate change.
In 2010, the Alliance filed a lawsuit, claiming that federal approval for CW violated the National Environmental Policy Act, Migratory Bird Treaty Act and Endangered Species Act.
Energy Management Inc., developer of the proposed $2.6B project, pulled the plug on it in 2017.
