1. How did you get interested in this topic? Do you have any personal stories or accounts that you can share in regards to Cape Wind?
2. The beginning of this project emerged fairly quickly into a controversy--what were the leading factors behind people's feelings on this particular issue?
3. How has the media shaped the way this topic has been disseminated to the people? Has the coverage shifted at all from when the idea was first proposed to now, in its early construction stage?
4. This topic is political, environmental, and personal. What real, long-term effects of Cape Wind Energy have been examined, both positive and negative, even neutral?
5. By now it seems that there have been two real sides to the discussion--those who wanted the wind farm and those who did not. But what other voices might be missing? Though the wind farm has received the go-ahead, are there still groups against it?
6. What kinds of trends might this project set in the environmental world? Political world? What about economically, geographically, demographically, internationally, etc.?
