Protect Offshore Wind     Take Action
	All people deserve affordable and reliable clean electricity, especially in the winter. For much of the United States, the past few months have been brutally cold—and brutal on the wallet. Winter power outages are especially dangerous, as climate change drives even more extreme weather and a wider swath of the country is hit with blizzards and storms that the grid isn't prepared for. Offshore wind provides much-needed resilience to increasingly strained electrical grids in many parts of the country, and creates more energy independence for states and regions while reducing reliance on fossil fuels. It can also drive manufacturing and create jobs even in non-coastal states. Tell your governor to support offshore wind. We know that fossil fuel interests will continue to push their false narratives and continue trying to pull whatever strings they can to thwart their competition. And we've seen that the current administration is only too willing to prop up inefficient, expensive, and pollution-making energy. But they can only distract from the fundamental value proposition of offshore wind for so long. Especially as the first big projects come online over this year and the next more people will experience the real-world benefits that offshore wind brings everywhere. Tell your governor to include offshore wind in the renewable energy mix in your state. It's already a climate-changed world, and it's time our energy sources and electrical grid reflected it. An equitable, resilient power grid that can meet these increasingly frequent extreme weather events requires transmission systems that can deliver electricity reliably nationwide to save money and lives. Offshore wind is a proven solution that can provide abundant, renewable energy, and create healthier communities. Tell your governor to defend and support offshore wind and all clean energy solutions.
