@lily_loo23 @ack4whales @TownofNantucket @NewBedford_MA @vineyardgazette @NewBedfordLight @ACKCurrent Unless you generate your own power or are living “off the grid”, all Nantucket electric ratepayers, like the rest of Massachusetts, receive energy from renewable sources, including onshore wind, in accordance with MA’s Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard. mass.gov/renewable-ener…

@ack4whales @TownofNantucket @NewBedford_MA @vineyardgazette @NewBedfordLight @ACKCurrent I’ve been with you all the way BUT at some point some soul searching is in order imho.

New Jersey is mobilizing against #BigOffshoreWind. Lots of municipalities signing up for the fight. Time for Massachusetts to do the same. @TownofNantucket @NewBedford_MA @vineyardgazette @NewBedfordLight @ACKCurrent
