Putting a wind farm off shore is a great idea – there’s always air blowing off shore. Another alternative would be in the U.S. Capitol – always lots of wind blowing around in there too.
Two lawmakers plan to introduce a resolution that could put the fate of a proposed $1.6 billion offshore wind farm in the hands of the Legislature.
The resolution would order Controller General Russ Larson to join three other state agencies in directing Delmarva Power to sign a 25-year contract to buy wind power from Bluewater Wind. The resolution would include the condition that costs be spread among all Delmarva electricity delivery customers, including heavy industrial companies.
