Red Sox Nation must Beat the Yankees to Offshore Wind
Massachusetts must be first in producing a offshore wind project of at least 2,000 megawatts so that we will have a competitive advantage over New York State.
Why is this important?
We have a problem - we need a clean energy source to replace the dirty coal power plants that are closing in 2017.
Thankfully there is a solution - there is enough offshore wind on our Atlantic coast to power all the homes in Massachusetts.
Offshore Wind is a clean energy source that can
- Reduce pollution
- Increase energy security
- Stabilize electric rates
- Create thousands of new jobs across the state
- Confront the urgent threat of climate change.
While there are lots of offshore wind farms in Europe, there are none in the US yet. If we invest first then we will have an advantage in attracting offshore wind jobs. If we wait then New York State will jump on this opportunity and they will have the advantage.
We need our state leaders to make sure that Massachusetts is first when it comes to offshore wind!
