Buy Green Power

Did you know you can choose what kind of electricity you buy from your electric company? Buying clean and renewable or "green" energy is the single most powerful action a family or business can take to fight pollution and climate disruption. Find out how!

CLEAN is a collaborative movement of organizations and individuals organizing around a specific "CALL TO ACTION."

The "call" is to implement new energy policies based on decentralized control of energy, whereby energy is generated by regionally appropriate, reliable, and renewable resources, such as wind, solar, and geothermal.

BOSTON, MA, DECEMBER 23, 2008 – The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has approved Cape Wind's Chapter 91 Waterways Application.

In the letter notifying Cape Wind of their decision, a DEP official stated, "the Department determines that the proposed project serves a proper public interest which provides greater public benefit than detriment to the public's rights in said tidelands".

Cape Wind Communications Director Mark Rodgers welcomed this news by stating, "This DEP approval finding Cape Wind serves a proper public interest and providing public benefit moves the project one step closer to its final approval."

This decision follows a public hearing DEP held in Yarmouth on November 5th.

The portions of Cape Wind's proposal under the jurisdiction of the DEP's review were the submarine electric cables from the coastline out to the three-mile offshore state boundary.
