McCullough appears in radio spots against the project. The ads are airing in New England and the Washington, D.C. area. He recorded similar ads two years ago.
"What they want to ruin with their power plant is so irreplaceable and means so much enjoyment for millions of us from every part of the country that we must not stand by and let it happen," says McCullough in the ad.

Patrick, others urge defeat of amendment
State Rep. Matt Patrick, D-Falmouth, has joined 68 other state legislators in opposing an amendment before Congress which would essentially kill the Cape Wind project. Patrick was the sole Cape Cod lawmaker to sign the letter.
The amendment, part of a much larger Coast Guard authorization bill, would give a Massachusetts governor veto power of the project, which seeks to construct wind turbines on Horseshoe Shoal. Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is a vocal critic of the plan.
The 69 state legislators expressed their opposition to the amendment in the form of a letter to Congress.
"Alaskan Sen. Ted Stevens last week stated on the Senate floor that he was pushing his anti-Cape Wind provision to protect Massachusetts and its citizens," said state Rep. Frank Smizik, D-Brookline, chairman of the Joint Committee on Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture. "Today we are sending a resounding message back to Washington that Stevens' move is against the wishes of the Massachusetts Legislature and the overwhelming majority of Massachusetts citizens.
Rally protests Kennedy stance on wind farm
Clean Power Now and other supporters of a wind farm in Nantucket Sound staged a rally Tuesday outside the Boston office of U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy.
The rally, said organizers, was intended to express disapproval of Kennedy's support of a controversial amendment now before Congress. The amendment, part of a much larger bill, would give a Massachusetts governor veto power over the wind farm project.
