That's right, the Obama Administration has given the green light for the first offshore wind farm.  It will be right off of Cape Cod.  The Kennedy family must be upset right now.

You can learn more in this typically biased Reuters article.

I recommend reading the comments--it is nice to see many people get that wind power is a sham.

Learn more about wind power here and here.

According to the Energy Information Administration (based on total levelized costs for a new plant), offshore wind is about 143% more expensive than a conventional coal plant.  Offshore wind is even about 62% more expensive than onshore wind.
