The town of Nantucket this week scored a multi-million dollar settlement agreement to compensate the town and businesses that were affected by the broken Vineyard Wind turbine blade that spread fiberglass and foam across the island’s south shore beaches last summer. 

Fanny Howe, an award-winning poet who preferred the quiet life to center stage, died on Tuesday, July 8.

While the Vineyard Wind blade failure was an initial black eye for the industry as it was attempting to get started, offshore wind energy finds itself in an even more vulnerable position one year later.

The Impossible Dream is celebrating 10 years of docking on Martha’s Vineyard, and recently honored Menemsha harbormaster Ryan Rossi for allowing them to dock there every summer for the last decade.
