Thursday, July 18, 12:00 noon Eastern Time – A Windfall: Can Offshore Wind Save Money and the Planet?

Join The Nature Conservancy online on July 18 at noon Eastern as we hear from Sarah Krame, Staff Attorney with Sierra Club Environmental Law Program, and Susan Muller, Senior Energy Analyst of Union of Concerned Scientists, to learn about the results of their recent analyses on why offshore wind is so important for New England, especially during the winter, and how it can reduce energy costs for New England ratepayers. While the application of these analyses is specific to New England, they demonstrate a reality about offshore wind that is playing out throughout the country. There are multiple factors that have to be considered when we think about the true price tag of offshore wind, and these reports represent models of the type of analyses we can—and maybe should—be doing in other places where offshore wind is an important part of the energy future.
