Wind Mills and Wave Power on Cape Cod

Hello from the village of Barnstable!
The Cape Cod team has had a great couple days here so far; we finally got the ball rolling with canvassing, and today we scheduled our first symposium for this Saturday at the historic Sturgis Library. Earlier today we initiated our newest member, Jeff, by doing a practice run-through of Awakening the Dreamer with him as our only audience member. It turns out that the front lawn of the county courthouse makes a great location for the symposium.

Canvassing has been going really well so far, especially since people on the Cape are amazingly well informed about the Cape Wind project. I've talked to people from all walks of life who are excited about the possibility of clean energy coming to Massachusetts and all of America. Yesterday I spoke to a tugboat captain who told me "Yeah, I know about all that stuff, I'm the guy who hauls all the oil," and then proceeded to fully endorse the call to re-power America. Today, I got the chance to meet some expatriate Swedes who told me that the Cape should borrow a page from their homeland and look into wave power generation. Apparently Cape Cod is a perfect location.

We never have to go very far to run into lawn signs with the big red "YES" and blue windmills of Clean Power Now. Hopefully our canvassing efforts will go a long way toward informing their supporters about the next steps in bringing wind power to the Cape. Who knows, maybe after Cape Wind becomes the first off-shore wind farm in the nation, Cape residents will be ready to embrace wave power as well!

Anyway, time to go make some burritos for hungry climate activists!
