Praise for Cape Wind
- St. Petersburg Times"enough political intrigue to keep a John Grisham fan happy...."
- Boston Globe"yes, this book is lots of fun...."
- Boston Magazine"a page turner...."
- New York Times Sunday Book Review"Editors choice"
- The Wall Street Journal"a ripe subject, populated with the sort of people who would be among the first to count themselves as friends of the Earth but the last to accept an environmentally friendly energy source if it meant the slightest cloud on their ocean views."
- Robert Sullivan, New York Times Sunday Book Review“A great summer beach read about longtime summer beach communities, “Cape Wind” describes how the alliance managed to raise $4 million in one ballroom meeting at the Wianno Club, where the ‘grass-roots’ campaign against the ‘industrial complex’ of offshore ‘Cuisinarts’ was kicked off by Douglas Yearley, a copper mining executive whose company was fined for killing birds in an acid runoff mishap in 2000, among other infractions.”

Appearance Feedback
- "Wendy Williams provided one of the best keynotes that we have had in the 20 year history of the Energy Fair. Her address was engaging, funny, and right on point. Wendy mixed personal anecdote with investigative reporting to tell a story that resonated with our audience of activists, and reminded us all why we continue to 'fight the good fight.' " -- Tehri Parker, Ph.D. Executive Director Midwest Renewable Energy Association
- "It was both refreshing and unusual to get such a candid assessment of Cape Wind politics and the influence of money in this project. Your presentation was given the highest possible grades by our audience members." Pat Hyland, Executive Director, Northeast Public Power Association
- "very engaging and entertaining....managed to hold the attention of a roomful of budding lawyers." Megan Higgins, Roger Williams Law School
- "the highlight of the conference....Wendy addressed our annual meeting in September 2008. She held the 100-plus energy professionals in rapt attention throughout her 30 minute speech except for when the meeting attendees were falling out of their chairs laughing." - Robert Kahn, Executive Director, NW & Intermountain Power Producers Coalition
- "Every time I hear Wendy speak, I learn something new -- not just about Cape Wind, but about politics in America. She embodies the best of this country's journalistic tradition, reminding us all why a free press is so critical to a free society." Massachusetts State Representative Frank Smizik, Chairman, Joint Committee on Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture
- "very inspiring" Rev. Bob Murphy, Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Falmouth
- "I loved the way you framed the issue as being primarily about democracy rather then clean energy, I think that is a critical point that has been left out of this debate." Winston Vaughan, Environment Massachusetts
