Offshore wind is one of the most effective, reliable solutions to meet America’s needs for clean, domestically produced energy. 🌬️
To address climate change, we MUST reduce greenhouse gas emissions while still producing energy to meet our growing electricity needs.

3 decades ago we identified Scallop Dredging around our island as very detrimental to the health of our seas. BUT to most folk it's "Out of Sight out of Mind" We used the visual image to educate our island community. Now half our island's seabeds out to 3 miles are protected, it was worth it.
