2/2/12, "Obama boosts Mid-Atlantic offshore wind-farm plans," USA Today, Wendy Koch

"In a bid to help launch offshore wind power in the United States, the Obama administration said Thursday that it was moving forward to lease four areas off the Mid-Atlantic coast.

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said federal environmental reviews for "wind energy areas" off Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and Virginia are now complete and find "no significant environmental impacts" from their development. That finding clears the way for companies to seek leases. A similar announcement for the Massachusetts coast is expected today."...

Ed. note: Who cares? Romney would do the same thing. Check that. Romney would put a rusty wind turbine on every street corner in America.

Commenter to article on Lucianne:

"This is nothing more than a push for continuing massive taxpayer subsidies for turbines that will perpetually have to be serviced while the electricity they produce is unreliable and costs more than forecast. And built with GE turbines no doubt."
