Offshore wind keeps the lights on AND electricity bills lower! Vineyard Wind will be providing power at a fixed cost of $84.23 per MWh once fully operational - much cheaper than spot wholesale prices during the storm, which spiked to over $870 per MWh canarymedia.com/articles/off…
The first 2 operating utility-scale offshore wind farms in the U.S. — South Fork Wind and Vineyard Wind — performed as well as gas-fired power plants & better than coal-fired facilities during last month’s Winter Storm Fern ❄️ 🔌💡canarymedia.com/articles/off…
Great to hear Nova Scotia's Premier, @TimHoustonNS, discussing future partnerships with New England to deliver clean, reliable offshore wind energy - this is anything but a Heated Rivalry! 😉🏒 ⚡️🔌
.@SierraClub joined @GovKathyHochul & 600 union workers to rally in support of offshore wind in NY - demanding the Trump administration withdraw it's stop-work order. Union labor is ready to get back to work. Halting the projects threatens the state economy, jobs & energy grid💡
I published an op-ed in @Newsday highlighting how successful South Fork Wind Farm's first year of operation in New York has been. 💡 🔌 ⚡ We need more of these proven resources - with no associated ongoing fuel costs - on the grid ASAP.

In the first half of 2022 utilities in MA spent $439k lobbying against bills promoting clean heating, rooftop solar, & more. Utilities like @nationalgridus & @EversourceMA have chosen to prioritize profits over lower rates, better health, & cleaner air ⤵️ levernews.com/in-massachuset…
