John,

The urgency of climate change demands that we transition – quickly, responsibly, and equitably – to a clean energy future. We need to advance solutions that can rise to the scale of our challenge. Offshore wind power is one of those solutions.

The urgency of climate change demands that we transition – quickly, responsibly, and equitably – from a fossil fuel dependent world to a clean energy future. We need to advance solutions that can rise to the scale of our challenge. Offshore wind power is one of those solutions, and states along the Atlantic Coast are preparing to power millions of homes and businesses with its clean, local power.

Importantly, we are also at the table ensuring wildlife are protected every step of the way. From choosing the right locations to negotiating construction schedules that accommodate the migration of critically endangered North Atlantic right whales - and much in between - we are speaking up for birds, marine wildlife, and communities.

Offshore wind power can and must be part of an energy future that allows wildlife and people to thrive. One we can all be proud of. To learn more and to help us seize the opportunity off our shores, please visit offshorewind.nwf.org.

Thank you for all that you do for wildlife.

Amber Hewett
   

Sincerely,

Amber Hewett,
