Federal Government Releases Offshore Wind Sales in the Gulf of Maine
CLF Calls Move a Significant Step in Offshore Wind Development.
CLF Calls Move a Significant Step in Offshore Wind Development.
CLF is fighting to ensure vital offshore wind projects in the Gulf of Maine are responsible and equitable.
“The designation of a Final Wind Energy Area in the Gulf of Maine is a major step in the transition of our energy economy from dirty fossil fuels to clean wind energy,” said Kate Sinding Daly, Senior Vice President of Law and Policy.
Climate deniers and fossil fuel interests are quietly fueling an anti-offshore wind misinformation campaign
“Offshore wind energy is essential to Maine’s future,” said Sean Mahoney, Vice President of CLF Maine. “Offshore wind will grow our economy and help us meet our obligations to ditch polluting fossil fuels. It’s critical that this process is now moving forward and we’re one step closer to getting this clean energy on the grid.”
Don’t believe the disinformation. We can develop offshore wind and meet our renewable energy goals while protecting the marine environment.
“This is a historic moment that’s been years in the making,” said CLF President Bradley Campbell. “It’s proof positive that New England’s transition away from polluting fossil fuels and towards clean, renewable energy is underway in earnest. We must now quadruple the rate of clean energy deployment, and New England is where it can be done responsibly.”
By providing our country with clean, renewable energy, those tiny lines on the far horizon mean thousands of families won’t face the sickness and shortened lives that are required to produce fossil fuel energy.
Offshore wind energy is critical to the future of Maine. It is a necessary step in growing our economy and a crucial piece of meeting our obligations to reduce our reliance on polluting fossil fuels.
Two proposed projects in Massachusetts aim to transform what were once centers for dirty energy into starting blocks for our clean energy future. In the process, they could provide a blueprint for reimagining our working waterfronts. Massachusetts’ waterfronts have always played a critical role in the state’s economy, supporting our fishing, shipping, and energy industries,… Continue reading Setting the Stage for Our Clean Energy Future
