I look forward to the time when I will be sailing or taking the ferry to Nantucket and being able to see the towers up close and admire their grandeur and know that the people of Cape Cod are benefiting from some clean power and that we are leaders in the effort to help our neighbors and our country make the US a cleaner, healthier and a better place to live.
