Cape Wind, the offshore wind project off the coast of Massachusetts, is officially dead: Energy Management Inc. has ceased efforts to build what was once expected to become the first offshore wind farm in the US.



Cape Wind suffered a slow death. Efforts to develop the 468-megawatt offshore farm, proposed to supply power to Cape Cod and the islands of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, began in 2001 but came up against relentless opposition from a mix of strange bedfellows including the Kennedy family and billionaire industrialist William Koch.
