The benefits of wind energy are also fashionably ignored. I recently spoke with Christian Roselund, co-lead of Climate Action Rhode Island’s Yes to Wind campaign and a senior policy analyst for Clean Energy Associates, about New England energy costs. Long before utility-scale offshore wind was introduced to New England or renewable energy programs created, the region’s electricity costs were steadily climbing. His leadership-lacking, Band-Aid solution is to rollback fees that fund wind and solar energy development and adoption. Dan McKee ignores the fact the Ocean State’s overreliance on methane for electricity and home heating is what keeps energy prices in flux.
