Offshore wind might be the single biggest lever that New England can pull to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and grow the economy - at the same time.
In the face of climate change, the race is on to decarbonize our energy system. Elizabeth Henry is the President of the Environmental League of Massachusetts. She outlines her goal to race towards the horizon -- and create a tipping point in the market for offshore wind. Already, it is 80% cheaper to harness wind offshore than it was a decade ago. A very different way to power our lives, and create the jobs of the future, is within reach.
