Good news for offshore wind energy in Maryland! Maryland is joining with Virginia and North Carolina to work together toward increasing the availability of offshore wind. Maryland has much less ocean coast, but a) the project in MD may be further along, and b) there is some hope that turbines can be manufactured in Maryland, though that may be just a rumor. While any industry can pollute, hopefully having it in a place like Maryland with environmental safeguards in place will ensure that production limits the impacts as much as possible.
Could this be an opening part of the Green New Deal or something like it? Biden's not a fan- and he may not win regardless- but hopefully folks around the country are interested in finally doing some infrastructure development. We will see!
