Setting the Record Straight: Q&A on Offshore Wind in New England
Don’t believe the disinformation. We can develop offshore wind and meet our renewable energy goals while protecting the marine environment.

“This is a historic moment that’s been years in the making,” said CLF President Bradley Campbell. “It’s proof positive that New England’s transition away from polluting fossil fuels and towards clean, renewable energy is underway in earnest. We must now quadruple the rate of clean energy deployment, and New England is where it can be done responsibly.”
By providing our country with clean, renewable energy, those tiny lines on the far horizon mean thousands of families won’t face the sickness and shortened lives that are required to produce fossil fuel energy.
Maine’s Board of Environmental Protection’s straw poll indicates the members’ positions on both standards preceding a formal, final decision that will take place at the end of December.
Microgrids will provide communities with energy independence, resilience, and security in the face of extreme weather.
The Twin States Clean Energy Link would run from New Hampshire into Vermont and connect to Canada, bringing clean energy into and out of the region.
COP28 is a reminder that local governments can act on climate even when political debate stymies global negotiations
The last thing we need is for this air- and climate-damaging plant to expand – which is why Burlington’s City Council should vote “no” on the proposed District Energy Project.
We’ve just seen the planet’s hottest summer. Torrential rains and flooding have cost billions and threatened lives in Vermont and Massachusetts. Ocean waters off our coast are heating more rapidly than any in North America, and wildfires have given us sore throats, dirty air, and brown skies. We need to do better. The ISO needs to pursue rapid change — now.
CLF’s recently published study finds that bioenergy can play a limited role in industries that are near-impossible to electrify – but clean energy like solar, wind, and heat pumps must largely pave the path forward.
