Please Ask Al Gore About Cape Wind

Please tell Mr. Gore that some of his most passionate believers have invested their hearts, their careers, and their fortunes in developing the first offshore wind energy project in this country, as a model for how we could create a sustainable renewable energy economy in this nation. The project is called Cape Wind. After years of investment and effort, jumping through every conceivable hoop, Cape Wind is about to be killed by some of the dirtiest tricks ever seen in American politics. The project needs Mr. Gore's strong, unequivocal, and outspoken support, not his ambivalence ("I don't really know the details" is what Mr. Gore said in the news last week). Mr. Gore, you should know the details. Standing by and passively watching this critical project be killed is a tragic crime. If Cape Wind dies it will be replaced by more coal-fired power plants. The lakes in New England are already full of mercury, and nothing spews CO2 like a coal fired power plant, not to mention the strip mining of the Appalacias for the fuel. We need you to take a stand, Mr. Gore. Please speak out on Cape Wind.On Me and Al Gore posted 3 years, 7 months ago 25 Responses
