Massachusetts’ Cape Wind to the nation’s Capitol, the future of wind

agenda and the international energy front as well. But how well has the

recent years, the promise of renewable energy has been promoted across
the political, environmental, and business landscape, as concerns about
American reliance on fossil fuels have mounted. At a pivotal moment
when climate change reaches a tipping point, and new energy policies
are being formed, the media play a vital role in helping shape the public
debate. Yet clean energy is a complex and important story at a time
when the media is stretched thin, newsrooms are cutting back, and
advocacy blogs increasingly dominate the online universe. Informing the
public with critical and strong reportage about energy is imperative,
but is the news media up to the task?</font></span></span><i><br></i><span style="font-size:13pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline"></span><br>
