Letter: Future depends on offshore wind

MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • December 31, 2023

Building offshore wind capacity – indeed, building all available renewable energy capacity as quickly as possible – is absolutely non-negotiable if we are to have any hope of maintaining both a stable civilization and a human-friendly climate. These projects will bring incredible benefits to Searsport and all of Maine, even without the utter necessity of undertaking them, which brings to mind the old activist joke, “But what if they’re wrong, and we’ve made a better world for nothing?” Anything less will willfully sacrifice our children on the altar of capital, and neither they nor history will ever forgive us. ~ Celine Kelley, Searsport
