need your help.</a> After fourteen years of work, the future of the
nation’s first offshore wind farm is in jeopardy.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><span><img style="border:10px solid white;float:right" title="cape-wind-power-farm-b1.jpg" src="http://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/betterfutureproject/mailings/191/attachments/original/cape-wind-power-farm-b1.jpg?1421365940" alt="cape-wind-power-farm-b1.jpg" width="300">As you have probably
heard, last week, National Grid and NSTAR announced that they were
planning to back out of their commitments to buy energy from Cape
Wind.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The ultimate cause of National Grid and NSTAR’s
decision? Relentless lawsuits, financed by oil billionaire Bill Koch,
have prevented Cape Wind from obtaining the financing it
needs.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As the judge who dismissed the 26th lawsuit against
Cape Wind said:</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>“</span><span>There comes a point at which the
right to litigate can become a vexatious abuse of the democratic
process.”</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Bill Koch thinks he can use his dirty energy money
to keep the nation’s first offshore wind farm, the key to our region’s
renewable energy independence, from being built.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>I say he’s wrong. I say we can rally enough public
support to pressure the utilities to honor their contracts and get
this thing built. But I know if that’s going to happen, a whole bunch
of us are going to need to get together and do something big, do
something bold, and do it soon.</span></p>
