{"product_id":"9781586485757","title":"Cape Wind","description":"When Jim Gordon set out to build a wind farm off the coast of Cape Cod, he knew some people might object. But there was a lot of merit in creating a privately funded, clean energy source for energy-starved New England, and he felt sure most people would recognize it eventually. Instead, all Hell broke loose. Gordon had unwittingly challenged the privileges of some of America's richest and most politically connected people, and they would fight him tooth and nail, no matter what it cost, and even when it made no sense.  Cape Wind  is a rollicking tale of democracy in action and plutocracy in the raw as played out among colourful and glamorous characters on one of our country's most historic and renowned pieces of coastline. As steeped in American history and local colour as  The Prince of Providence  as biting, revealing and fun as  Philistines at the Hedgerow , it is also a cautionary tale about how money can hijack democracy while America lags behind the rest of the developed world in adopting clean energy.","brand":"Robert Whitcomb","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46947083616574,"sku":"9781586485757","price":675.44,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9781586485757_a2ec8595-dd0f-451f-b3bc-f7ab1f3c82b3.jpg?v=1707560344","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781586485757","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
