Wind Power

Wind power does not pollute, it is domestically produced and it is renewable. It is the fastest growing source of energy in the world, and its prices are competitive with the cost of electricity from new coal-fired power plants.

With additional investment in research and development, the cost of wind power could drop even more to as little as 2.5 cents a kilowatt-hour within the next few years. In fact, wind could supply more than three times the total amount of electricity currently produced in the United States.

We are working with environmental groups around the country to win America’s first offshore wind farm. The only question now is, which one will be built first – Cape Cod or Long Island?

We hope you will join us in supporting these projects – say “Yes to Wind!”

Wind for Cape Cod

This offshore wind project, called Cape Wind, is located in Nantucket Sound and will provide 75% of Cape Cod’s energy needs with clean and safe wind power. Imagine clean power reducing the need for the Cape’s current oil and gas burning power plant, which caused a major oil spill in Buzzard’s Bay in 2003, dumping 100,000 gallons of oil into the bay.

Wind for Long Island

This project will provide power for about 44,000 homes with clean, renewable wind. New York City and Long Island have always been at the cutting edge of style, now they’re leading America’s clean energy revolution as well.
