Working Title  Cape Wind: The Fight for the Future of Power in America

Logline Taking place surrounding the fabled waters of Nantucket Sound, CAPE WIND is a telling microcosm of the divisiveness the renewable energy industry faces as it battles to remove the shackles of America’s fossil fuel dependency.

Summary The fight over America’s hottest renewable energy project is raging into its seventh and final year. Hailed as America’s first offshore wind farm, the Cape Wind project consists of 130 440ft turbines to be built in Nantucket Sound surrounded by the wealthiest summertime oasis in the country, Cape Cod and the Islands. Like massive lightning rods, its wind towers attracted the awe or fury of everyone from fisherman to Senator. Wrought with bizarre alliances and oodles of PR cash, the Cape Wind story is a telling microcosm of the divisiveness the renewable energy industry faces as it battles to remove the shackles of America’s fossil fuel dependency.
As Hollywood cranks out sci-fi blockbusters and groundbreaking documentaries about the effects of global warming, Cape Wind tackles the root causes of society’s collective inability to produce a large-scale solution to the global crisis it created. Resistance to change is nothing new, but if permitted the Cape Wind project will open the floodgates for offshore wind farms up and down the American coastlines.
Filmed in Hi-Defintion, replete with celebrities and high drama, Cape Wind has all of the ingredients of a high-impact documentary. And with the Fed’s final decision coming down at the end of this year, the timing of the film will be key. Much more than the fate of the Cape Wind project hangs in the balance. If the rising tide of the renewable energy movement prevails in this battle, Cape Wind will be remembered as the first major blow in the Fight for the Future of Power in America.
