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

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.

NorthWind, a joint venture with Danish investors, borrowed $13.1 million from the Danish International Development Agency in October last year to raise the Bangui facility’s capacity to 33MW at a total project cost of $50 milllion.

“We are pursuing our expansion plans because wind is a renewable form of energy, and it is very timely because of the passage of the Renewable Energy Bill. At the same time, wind projects are very environmental friendly,” Dumlao said.

Wind power almost definite to rise in Guimaras

Tax breaks for wind power irk some; Wind business thrives without subsidies, argues former teacher
