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.
