Clean power advocates call on Congressman Edward Markey to actively support cape wind project
Coalition of Environmental and Labor Groups Urge Leadership

A coalition of environmental and labor groups today called on Congressman Edward Markey to support the Cape Wind clean energy project. At a rally in front of the congressman's office in Medford, advocates urged Congressman Markey, Senator Kerry, and four other members of the Massachusetts delegation to take a position during the upcoming public hearings on the federal Minerals Management Service draft environmental impact statement on Cape Wind.

"Congressman Markey is chairman of the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming in the Congress," said Barbara Hill, executive director of Clean Power Now. "He has a unique opportunity to lead the country on the critical issue of clean energy by supporting the first offshore wind project in the United States. As they have on so many important environmental issues in the past, we strongly urge him publicly support Cape Wind at next week's public hearings."
