Borchert Thu, 14 Mar 2013 14:32:17 +0000 http://www.clf.org/?p=14255#comment-2817 According to the most up to date federal government estimates, there is enough wind off the Eastern Seaboard to equal the current installed generation capacity of the entire United States. That is roughly 900,000 megawatts. Perhaps most importantly this resource is close to major population centers so a massive transmission system would not have to be built like one to bring Midwest wind to the coasts. Is off shore wind a no brainer? You bet it is! It could also bring 40-50,000 jobs as it ramps up too.

It works, as demonstrated in Europe; why haven’t we been a leader?? Why are we lagging so far behind?? Shame on us!!
