Study boosts notion of offshore wind production
Norman Meadow of the Maryland Conservation Council said his group's members have great concerns about the potential ecological impacts of large-scale deployment of wind turbines offshore, which he said have not been adequately studied. He contended that a few nuclear reactors like the new one proposed at Calvert Cliffs could generate as much power on just a few acres of land as the 2,900 turbines spread across 800 square miles of water that the Delaware researchers said could potentially be used. Firestone acknowledged that large-scale offshore wind might have ecological impacts and require additional power lines and even power plants to accommodate it. "Yeah, you're going...
