Blue Water Wind

On Wednesday night I went to see a presentation given by Maryland's Blue Water Wind project director. At this lecture, he spoke about the many benefit that off shore wind power could offer to Maryland. This project would entail the construction of a wind park 12 miles off the coast of Ocean City Maryland. It would contribute to the four major issues that have been swarming the news: Environment, Efficiency, Energy, and Economics. Blue water states that Maryland will begin to see brown outs by the year 2012 due to an efficient transition line. They are proposing the off shore wind park to fix Maryland's inefficient energy issue. Although I knew a good amount about the wind park proposal in Delaware, I had not heard of Maryland's potential to be involved in capturing the environmentally friendly renewable sources. Maryland could act as a role model for neighboring states in the advancement of this new technology. I support this project and encourage other Maryland residents to increase awareness of Maryland potential to lead the way in off shore wind energy.
