Wind Power to the People

The idea of a renewable energy source like wind gets me really excited. It's clean, doesn't pollute and is limitless. That's why I'm eager to give you an update about the offshore wind project on the horizon in Massachusetts. If built, it would be America's first offshore wind project and would signal to the rest of the country that the time for wind energy is now.

The Cape Wind project would provide 75% of Cape Cod's energy needs from a clean, cost-effective source. And, for the rest of us, it will help pave the way to a clean energy future for the United States.

We all know that global warming is caused by our dependence on dirty fossil fuels. So, why does the Bush Administration continue to advocate for dirty energy plans that expand our reliance on nuclear, coal and oil? It just doesn't make sense.

I say it's time to give wind power to the people. We know that a greater reliance on renewable energy will help stem the impact of global warming. Let's rally behind clean energy alternatives and strive for real change.

Take Action - Tell the government that you support Cape Wind!

The federal government is accepting public comment on the proposed Cape Wind plan. We need YOU to get involved and take action. We only have 6 weeks to support this plan... so please act now!

Scientists warn that global warming is worsening. But there are concrete actions the government can take to lessen its effects. The Cape Wind project has been repeatedly delayed due to congressional meddling and a small group of local opponents.

Global warming isn't slowing down. The time to act is now!

The federal government must finish the review process quickly with no unnecessary delays. Offshore wind has been an effective source of power in Europe for years, and now is the time to show that the United States can be a leader in the fight for a clean energy future.

For the planet,
