Jim Lanard, President of the Offshore Wind Development Coalition, talks how wind power causes electricity price suppression, and the push back to that.

He explains how offshore wind power will LOWER electric rates, causing lower profits for those who make their money off fossil fuels and ultra high “peak demand”  “market rates”… they’re probably not going to like that!

So watch when they come to fight your wind projects.

He tells us what to expect and what we can do about it.

Gordian Raacke, Renewable Energy Long Island: “LIPA’s Fuel costs (annually are) … taking 1.5 billion dollars out of our pockets, out of our economy.”

Roger Clayman, LI Federation of Labor: “an opportunity .. the vast potential we have, right at our fingertips here on Long Island, to create a new kind of economy.”

Catherine Bowes, National Wildlife Federation: “It is staggering how much clean energy is available out there. ”
