Cape Wind: The Fight For the Future of Power in America


Cape Wind: The Fight For the Future of Power in America from Cape Wind Movie on Vimeo.

Cape Wind tackles the root causes of society’s collective inability to produce a large-scale solution to the global crisis it created. The film frames the events of the controversial Cape Wind project (a plan to build 130 wind turbines in the middle of Nantucket Sound) as a microcosm of America’s struggle toward sustainability and energy independence. It is a detailed exploration of the trials and tribulations of implementing a large renewable energy project and how a community of active citizens struggles to coexist with such and endeavor.

The story is told from the perspective of the people who are fighting the fight — the developer, the grassroots groups both for and against, the fishermen who will be displaced, the politicians who must answer to an angry and divided constituency — a provocative, ground-level look at how America’s energy future is being decided.
