Fri, 5/23, 5-7pm: SALON – Journalist Robert Whitcomb on his 2007 book, Cape Wind: Money, Celebrity, Class, Politics, and the Battle for Our Energy Future on Nantucket Sound, written with Wendy Williams.
A spirited account of the plutocracy’s attempts to quash an alternative energy initiative that would plant wind turbines on Nantucket Sound, Cape Wind is more relevant than ever as Governor Carcieri seeks developers’ bids for an offshore wind farm intended to generate at least 15% of Rhode Island’s electricity. Join Providence Journal editorial page editor Whitcomb for a conversation about the many vested interests still battling it out in Massachusetts, and a look at the future of wind farms in Rhode Island. Books will be available for sale and signing, thanks to Borders!
