Imagine looking back in 20 years & wondering: why did we ever burn coal? In Rhode Island, a $5B offshore wind network is 80% complete and when it goes live in 2026, energy costs will drop by half.

For too long, politicians played the “divide and conquer” game — pitting workers against environmentalists. In Rhode Island, labor + climate leaders decided to build the Climate Jobs Coalition to get things done together. Listen & subscribe to Rising Tide: t.co/wlpC02oAnx

Trump's “energy emergency” isn’t about security — it’s about payback. After asking Big Oil for $1B at Mar-a-Lago, he’s now gutting clean energy to give fossil fuels the edge. The future is wind + solar, not oil’s last gasp.

The fight for clean energy isn’t abstract. 500 MW of clean power ready. 200 MW almost finished. Politics + fossil fuels block the Revolution Wind project, leaving a hole in the grid when energy demand (AI, data centers...) is skyrocketing. Listen & subscribe to Rising Tide: t.co/wlpC02oAnx

Environment, economy, and equity are powering Rhode Island’s clean energy future.

Revolution Wind = predictable, affordable energy.
Fossil fuel prices swing wildly. Offshore wind doesn’t. In 18 years, Revolution Wind power is locked at ~10¢/kWh — stable, clean, & local.
