Op-Ed, Christian Science Monitor
By Henry Lee, Director, Environment and Natural Resources Program

"Cape Wind Damage"
Op-Ed, Boston Globe
By Henry Lee, Director, Environment and Natural Resources Program
"Massachusetts is one of the few states in the country that has decided to address the climate problem and restrict carbon dioxide emissions from power plants. On paper, it has extolled the virtues of renewable energy and has put in place requirements that will force its utilities to purchase an ever increasing amount of their power from renewable sources. At this time, the only feasible renewable option for meeting a significant portion of these requirements is to build a measurable amount of wind generation. Since no one is suggesting that the state or federal government build this capacity themselves, private developers have to be willing to step up to the plate and invest their money to meet their goals."
