PEP Steering Committee Member Ezra Markowitz co-authors report that finds more support for offshore wind than public perceives

A new investigation of public estimates of support for offshore wind energy by PEP Steering Committee Member, Ezra Markowitz and colleague suggests, among other things, that participants who say they support wind power off the coast of New England significantly overestimated the level of opposition to this new technology among their fellow New Englanders. The authors' report in the journal Energy Policy was covered by Informed Infrastructure and ReNews.
