      Book Presentation: Cape Wind by Wendy Williams & Robert Whitcomb

      Book Abstract

      Cape Wind chronicles the real-life drama that occurred when energy entrepreneur Jim Gordon proposed building a 468 megawatt wind farm off the shores of Cape Cod. The conflict that arose between his team and the wealthy landowners who opposed the project has spanned more than five years and moved from local town meeting halls to the floors of Congress.
