Revolution Wind is located about 15 miles south of Little Compton and, when complete, will have 65 wind turbines.

There is no evidence that wind farms cause cancer. As recently as last year, the federal government declared there was no known link between large-scale whale deaths and offshore wind.

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management stopped all activity related to the 704-megawatt wind farm that has contracts to deliver power to RI and CT.
