Winds of Change -
empowered: energy heroes

Chloe Goshay goes to Somerset, Massachusetts, a small coastal town that has ridden the waves of our national energy policy. Once the home to the largest coal-burning power plant in New England, Somerset lost its bread and butter when the low cost of gas put the plant out of business. The town's state representative, Pat Haddad, writes a bill that brings offshore wind to Massachusetts and revitalizes her small town. Now Somerset will be home to North America's first offshore wind manufacturing plant.
