Opponents of the Cape Wind project may get a small but fleeting victory this week, as the Cape Cod commission is expected to block a permit for the undersea cable needed to connect the wind farm to an onshore substation.

"I don't think it's going to have any substantive impact. We're going to move forward in the permitting of the project," Mark Rodgers, spokesman for Cape Wind Associates, told Cleantech.com.
