Blocking Off-shore Development
An alliance to block a major off-shore wind power development was stymied. The developer had a potent message: these privileged residents favored alternative energy everywhere but Not in My Backyard.
The alliance responded by reaching policy-makers via both national and local media. Experts confirming the environmental perils of the project minimized the NIMBY stigma. Media coverage reversed and development stalled.
