Ladywriter 7,783 Report post Posted March 13, 2008 The winds of change are blowing through the United States, starting in Massachusetts. For too long, acid rain has showered our shores and beaches, and residents of the Cape and Islands have inhaled toxic air from dirty power plants. Now is the time for that to change. Take action today to support clean and safe wind power on the Cape! Cape Wind is a project proposed off the shores of Massachusetts that would provide safe clean electricity for residents of Massachusetts without producing the greenhouse gases that cause global warming. Building Cape Wind rather than a polluting power plant will create local jobs, and be the equivalent of taking 175,000 cars off the road or saving 113 million gallons of oil. Right now, the Minerals Management Service is accepting public comments on the draft environmental impact plan for the Cape Wind project. We need to let them know that Cape Wind is exactly the type of renewable energy investment America needs to move forward to protect our environment. Take action now at http://ga3.org/campaign/Cape_Wind/ and tell the Minerals Management Service to approve the Cape Wind project. Offshore wind offers an immediate, clean, safe and effective answer to both global warming and energy security. Cape Wind will provide 75% of Cape Cod's energy needs from a clean cost-effective source, and provide local jobs. Over 70% of Massachusetts' residents support Cape Wind and it is time for all of us to join in their support of this important clean energy project. Global warming poses significant risks for the Cape and Islands. From more frequent and severe red tides to rising sea levels and more intense storms, a warming planet is a big problem for the same beach front homeowners who oppose Cape Wind. The environment that is critical to the way of life in Cape Cod is in jeopardy, and projects like Cape Wind are the solution. Visit http://ga3.org/campaign/Cape_Wind/ to take action and tell the Minerals Management Service to approve the Cape Wind project. Thank you for your support!
