HARNESSING WIND POWER OFF MASSACHUSETTS' SOUTH COAST

The coastal shelf off the south coast of Massachusetts and Rhode Island provides one of the best areas in the US for generating offshore wind. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management has already authorized 6 sites near Mass. and R. I. where wind turbines can be installed. When fully built, these sites could generate more than 1,200 GW of clean energy.

Come learn about wind energy and how it will generate good jobs and clean power at well below the cost of fossil fuels.

Join us on-line and learn about these projects and how you might be able to get involved in the newest industry in our region.
