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.

Majority of Mass. Legislators Urge Cape Wind Approval


BOSTON (BUSINESS WIRE) A majority of the members of the Massachusetts Legislature, 107 in total, representing Democrats and Republicans in the House and Senate, including 28 Committee Chairmen, have signed onto a letter to Interior Secretary Ken Salazar urging him to approve Cape Wind “as soon as possible.”

This announcement today coincides with an event in Newark, Delaware where Vice President Biden and Interior Secretary Salazar are highlighting offshore wind power development in the United States.

Chairman Frank I. Smizik who authored the letter said he was pleased to have obtained nearly 30 additional signatures less than a month after he first submitted the letter with 78 signatures. “Projects that start controversial up here usually stay controversial. Not Cape Wind – rarely have I seen legislators come to such a consensus in support of a project as they learn more about it, and this letter – with a strong and ever-growing majority of the legislature signing on – represents that,” said House Chairman Smizik. “It’s clear to me that people realize Cape Wind is a development that is good for the environment, good for the economy, and overall a real win for Massachusetts,” Smizik added.

U.S. Secretary Ken Salazar is expected to issue a Record of Decision on Cape Wind in the near future. The Minerals Management Service of the U.S. Department of Interior issued Cape Wind a favorable Final Environmental Impact Statement in January. In March, the Massachusetts Energy Facilities Siting Board voted unanimously to issue Cape Wind a ‘Composite Certificate’ that will finalize State permitting.

“I am pleased that a majority of the Massachusetts Legislature along with Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and 86% of the citizens of Massachusetts support Cape Wind and want Massachusetts to become home to the nation’s first offshore wind farm,” stated Cape Wind President Jim Gordon. “Cape Wind is shovel-ready,” Gordon added.

Cape Wind’s proposal to build America’s first offshore wind farm on Horseshoe Shoal would provide three-quarters of the electricity used on Cape Cod and the Islands from clean, renewable energy - reducing this region’s need to import oil, coal and gas. Cape Wind will create new jobs, stable electric costs, contribute to a healthier environment, increase energy independence and establish Massachusetts as a leader in offshore wind power.
