October 23, 2013   New England, Offshore Wind/Industrialization

Interior secretary cheers for wind power PROVIDENCE, R.I. — U.S. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell’s role kicking off an offshore wind industry conference Tuesday probably came as no surprise to many inside the Rhode Island Convention Center. As a former engineer, banker and business executive, Jewell — who succeeded Kenneth Salazar at the Interior Department in February — seemed at home surrounded by wind energy developers.

  The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet
