I was appreciative of the opportunity to see the Block Island Wind Farm up close last week. Thank you to The New England for Offshore Wind Coalition for organizing the tour via the Rhode Island Fast Ferry. Rhode Island is on the forefront of experimenting with and implementing renewable energy sources. I believe that transitioning away from fossil fuels now will reduce energy costs, create jobs, and fight climate change. The farm at Block Island is a great example of Rhode Island leading the way in renewables and get us closer to our goal of requiring 100% of Rhode Island's electricity needs be met with renewable energy by 2033. Here I am pictured with my colleagues Rep. Michelle McGaw and Sen. Alana DiMario on the tour.
