Clean Power Now : ウィキペディア英語版 | Clean Power Now
Clean Power Now is based out of Hyannis, Massachusetts and has a member base of over 12,000 members in 49 states. It is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit grassroots organization working to inform citizens and empower them to support viable renewable energy projects and policies. Their belief is that that new energy projects, combined with efficiency and conservation efforts will bring about a clean, healthy environment, an improved economy, and a more secure, sustainable world. The organization’s immediate focus is to increase citizen support of offshore wind power in Nantucket Sound, namely the ‘’’Cape Wind Project’’’. Cape Wind is proposing America’s first offshore wind farm on Horseshoe Shoal in Nantucket Sound. Over 5 miles from the nearest shore, 130 wind turbines will gracefully utilize the wind to produce a peak 420 megawatts of energy. In average winds, Cape Wind will provide three quarters of the energy required for the Cape and Islands. ==History== Clean Power Now was formed in 2003 after an opposition group, The Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound was formed against the Cape Wind project proposed in 2001. The first Executive Director, Matt Palmer, served for two years until in 2006 Barbara Hill, who served as project coordinator for Offshore Wind with the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative for three and a half years, assumed the role as Executive Director from Matt Palmer and remains there today.
