Please consider either a resolution, or a warrant on the ballot so that the
Governor can have confidence that Nashua clearly does (or does not)
support studying offshore wind
Sample warrant: By petition of eligible voters of town of NASHUA to see if the town will urge:
NH to join existing efforts in Massachusetts and Maine to study the feasibility of developing offshore wind power in
the Gulf of Maine, by providing written notice urging Governor Sununu to request the formation of an
intergovernmental task force.
° A bipartisan NH legislative committee studied offshore wind in 2014 and recommended the
establishment of the task force.
¢ Floating wind turbines located far offshore in federal waters and barely visible from land,
combined with other renewable energy sources, would move NH to 100% renewable energy
by 2050.
° The building of offshore wind farms would also bring significant jobs and income to NH.
