Shoal and Wind

Tom Osmers. Sharon Strimling-Florio. Two islanders and two sides of Cape Wind. Their different views of a productive shoal and of a proposed wind farm unfold the issues and living ideas of what an array of wind turbines will mean here. Recorded at a public hearing on a Draft Environmental Impact statement this clip is in many ways a story of our island, revealed in clear and deep consideration. It is the heart of a deeply dividing issue, pared and gently laid open.
