Massachusetts: Cape Wind

Senator, you claimed during remarks yesterday at a forum organized by the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Brookings Institution that the missing ingredient to fix the major problem of climate change has been "leadership, leadership, leadership."  I couldn't agree with you more.  

National leadership and support has been severely lacking for the Cape Wind project - a project of transcendent importance that would reduce carbon dioxide emission, a key greenhouse gas, by 733,876 tons per year, which is equivalent to taking 175,000 automobiles off the road each year.  It could launch an offshore wind industry right here in Massachusetts and set the stage for a staggering 30,000 jobs.
