Offshore Wind

Season 1 Episode 1 | 3m 15s

New Bedford, Massachusetts, made its fortune hunting whales for oil. Nearly two centuries later, Mayor Jon Mitchell is wagering the city's economic comeback on offshore wind. But opposition from fishermen, whales, and President Trump complicate the push to power the energy grid with turbines built at sea.

Made possible in part by support provided by Sue Hart-Wadley and Searle Wadley with additional support from Jerry Cox.
