The Astonishing Potential of Offshore Wind | Elizabeth Turnbull Henry | TEDxKenmoreSquare

Offshore wind might be the single biggest lever that New England can pull to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and grow the economy - at the same time.
In the face of climate change, the race is on to decarbonize our energy system. Elizabeth Henry is the President of the Environmental League of Massachusetts. She outlines her goal to race towards the horizon -- and create a tipping point in the market for offshore wind. Already, it is 80% cheaper to harness wind offshore than it was a decade ago. A very different way to power our lives, and create the jobs of the future, is within reach.
Elizabeth Turnbull Henry took the lead of the Environmental League of Massachusetts in 2017, drawn to the ambitious goals and pragmatic strategies that have long been ELM’s hallmark. She is committed to making Massachusetts lead the nation in environmental policy and getting on a pathway to net zero emissions by 2050. She has particular passion for pricing carbon and expanding offshore wind. A proven sustainability leader, she previously directed climate and energy programs for Adidas.
