	Boston.com / News / Local / Cronkite urges full review of wind farm proposal
		Cronkite, who met with the developer of the proposed wind energy source for the first time on Monday, said he now believes that the heated opposition to the project is "premature," and that he would withhold further judgment until an environmental impact study is complete.
		Cronkite said he was impressed with the "sincerity and dedication of the principals," and was surprised to discover that 17 state and federal agencies are reviewing the proposal; critics often complain that there is no clear process for regulatory review.
